| History/Origin | Col. Warburton named this feature on 6 May, 1873 stating "it stood out as an isolated hill in a sea of scrub, and bore a stricking resemblance to Mount Wedge Island (a small island situated near the coast of W.A.) when seen from a distance at sea." (South Australian Parliamentary Paper 28 of 1875) |
