The Burke & Wills Expedition passed through here in 1860. At
Darlington, the
homestead of Dr Thomas Baynton, they made their 5th
camp on Friday 24th August 1860. Their
camp site is still marked by a small clump of Osage
Orange trees between the present
homestead and the road, close to Pohlman's Creek, apparently the original site of the
homestead. Thomas Alexander Browne (‘Rolf Boldrewood’) had lived at
Darlington as a boy when his father, Captain Sylvester Brown(e), held the run before Dr. Baynton's occupation of it.
