John MacDouall Stuart named the pillar in 1860 after one the sponsors of his first attempt to cross Australia from South to North. Being at Chambers Pillar (with a fully equipped, modern vehicle), marvelling in the solitude of the place, creates a deep awe of people like Stuart - who must have endured immeasurable hardships to explore Australia's inhospitable interior.
