Breaden Bluffs were named by David
Carnegie named them at the time of his 1896 expedition – after Joseph A. Breaden , a member of his party.
Carnegie mentions
the bluff in the narrative of his journey, the book Spinifex and Sand. They are also marked on his exploration map, though he never actually visited them. – quote from S&S - “To the south-east, across a mulga covered flat, is a high ridge one mile distant, with the crests of others visible beyond it; above them, about 12
miles distant, a prominent
bluff (Breaden
Bluff), the north end of a red tableland. From the mulga trees
the bluff bears 144°”
