| History/Origin | Ernest Giles in SAPP 21 of 1874 "Mr Ernest Giles's Explorations, 1872". writes "Wednesday, 30th October. - ...I called the crag round which Johnny's Creek turns, "Carmichael's Craig," after Mr Carmichael." Giles in his book "Australia Twice Traversed" Book 1, Chapter 6 writes "I called this King's Creek. Another on the western flat beyond joins it. I called the north-west point of this range Carmichael's Crag." The map with the book shows only Carmichael Creek. The range Giles mentions is the George Gill Range. Giles met Samual Carmichael in Melbourne and he contributed towards Giles' Expedition. Carmichael became one of the two people to accompany Giles on this expedition. |
