The Mt. Ebenezer Roadhouse with an impressive art gallery and a campground is run by the Imanpa Aboriginal community. The roadhouse is south-east of Mt Ebenezer which is believed to be named after the pioneer Ernest Ebenezer Flint who worked on the overland telegraph line in 1870 and was wounded by a spear in 1874 when aborigines attached the Barrow Creek telegraph station.
The first settler in the Mt Ebenezer area was an intrepid traveller, Bill Hurle Liddle, born 1887 in Anguston in South Australia. At the young age of 20 years, Liddle arrived in Alice Springs and worked for a time at the Telegraph Station where he met his part Aboriginal wife Mary Earwaaker producing 4 children.
Liddle branched out into making bush buildings and in 1919 he won a contract to take 500 head of cattle to Kings Creek where he and his growing family squatted in a cave. The Liddles took up Angas Downs and when taking wool to the rail head at Rumbalara, Bill noticed the Mt Ebenezer region and utilised it later for grazing.
Aboriginal people of the Pitjantjatjara, Matuntara and Luritja tribal groups moved into the eastern regions around Mt. Ebenezer, Mt. Connor and Ayers Rock as more cattle properties were taken up by early settlers. Being oe of the first part Aboriginals to establish a pastoral enterprise was Harold Liddle who founded Mt Ebenezer Station in 1949.
