Carnegie first saw Mount Webb from the north on 11 April 1897 on his expedition from
Halls Creek to
Lake Darlot.
He visited and named the mount on 12 April 1897 after W.F. Webb Esq., of Newstead Abbey, Nottingshire.
"May 9th we left the
well on a Southerly course, and were soon amongst the ridges, which continued for the next two days. The night of the 11th, having skirted a line of rough cliffs, we camped about three
miles North of a very prominent single
hill, which I named Mount Webb, after W. F. Webb, Esq., of Newstead Abbey, Nottinghamshire. As the sun rose that morning the mirage of a
lake of apparently great size was visible for 90° of the horizon — that is, from East round to South. Neither from the cliffs that we skirted, nor from Mount Webb, was any
lake visible, but it is more than probable that a large
salt lake exists in this locality, possibly connecting, in a broken line,
Lake White and
Lake Macdonald." (Spinifex and Sand)
Mount Webb is alongside the
Gary Junction Road and is just east of the community of
Kiwirrkurra.
