Discovery

Lake Darlot was discovered in March 1892 during the second part of The Elder Scientific Exploring Expedition 1891-1892.[3] The 1891 phase of the expedition led by David Lindsay had been recalled by its benefactor Sir Thomas Elder, so in February 1892 Lindsay sent his second in command Lawrence Wells on a smaller expedition to explore the area east of the Murchison River in Western Australia.[4] During this expedition Wells (a surveyor) found and named Lake Way, Lake Darlot and Lake Wells. Lake Darlot was named after a well known squatter of the Murchison area, Lou Darlot.[4]
