Lake Grace is located between the towns of Kukerin and Newdegate in south east WA. The first European explorer in the area was thought to be JS Roe who travelled through here in 1848, naming Mt Madden en route. Lake Grace was named in 1909 after the nearby salt, shallow lake.

Holland's Track was cut by John Holland and four helpers who were determined to arrive at the Goldfields in the shortest possible time.
