History
The name is a contraction of nearby Dwardadine Creek, with Script error: No such module "Lang". being a Noongar name for dingo. The townsite was first requested by the Wandering Road Board in 1912, with the hope it could become a future terminus for the Hotham Valley Railway, and the townsite, initially called Dampier, was gazetted in 1914.[1] The town however did not attract settlement. In 1940–41 a timber mill was built here by JC "Charlie" Tucak, and operated for some years.[2]
The townsite is owned by the Horan family, though most of the buildings were destroyed by arson in the mid-1980s.
