The cairn and plaque commemorate the bullock teamsters who worked in Robe between 1847 -1920 and was unveiled during the Australian Bicentenary in 1988.
Originally bullock teams pulling drays piled high with wool or wheat would use this Royal Circus as a turning circle when bringing their goods to the customs house before export.
