Camel Lake was once used as a quarantine area for camels, imported during the Gold Rush. It is claimed that the explorer Ernest Giles, rested his camels at the Lake, after his epic journey from Port Augusta to Perth, in May 1875. Evidence of tethering is still visible on some of the trees - look for the distinctive circular marks on the trunks - however there is little evidence of the lake in summer these days.



Originally it was known as One Tree Hill In 1839, Henry Trigg was granted the land around One Tree Hill. He established a lime quarry and kilns, to supply limestone for many of Perth's original buildings. As a result of Mr Trigg's business, the area became known as the Limekilns Estate.

In 1844 the estate was purchased by Mr Walter Padbury, who was a butcher, built an abattoir and slaughtered animals in the area for many years. In 1869 the Birch Brothers purchased the estate off Walter, and established a vineyard.
