Cleve
Scottish brothers DrJames, Donald and Peter McKechnie established a sheep station here in 1853 and the settlement has since grown into a prime farming community.
A scenic drive along the Cleve escarpment towards Cowell Hills offers imposing views and glimpses of wildlife, while a day trip towards the Darke Range encounters the grave of explorer John Darke, who was buried where he died in 1844 of Aboriginal spear wounds.
