It is thought by some[weasel words] that Darraweit Guim means "where 3 creeks meet"[2] in a local Aboriginal language.

The first survey of the district was made in 1851 by Surveyor Foote, who gave it the name of Darraweit Guim,[2] which was approved by the authorities in Sydney.

What other places of interest existed at the Toll Bar Hill is difficult to ascertain, but we have heard of a blacksmith, and possibly there would be others who lived there.

It has been said[weasel words] that surplus butter from those living on the Deep Creek towards Darraweit Guim was carted to meet the transport wagons (either bullock or horse wagons) at the Toll Bar Corner for transport either to Melbourne or to the Goldfields in Bendigo.

During the winter Deep Creek in Darraweit Guim is prone to the occasional flood and did so in 1906,[3] 1916, 1934, 1964[3] and 1990, at its height reaching above the waist.

Darraweit Guim was the hardest hit town in Macedon Ranges Shire in the 2022 Victorian floods which washed out the main road and destroyed up to 15 homes[4] as well as the historic primary school[5] following an exceptional 82mm of rainfall and subsequent flooding of both creeks that converge in the township.

The current owners hoped to reopen it, but it is getting a bit dilapidated Anderton, Barry, Breen, Brown, Cleve, Coustley, Cummins, Delaney, Doheney, Elder, Francis, Howden, Lade, Lobb, Maher, McCabe, McDonald, McDonell, Moore, Stenning, Stockdale, Tom, Waitt, Wilson and Aungier.

Australian rock band Stonefield (made up of four sisters, Amy, Hannah, Sarah, and Holly Findlay) are from Darraweit Guim.
