Description

A significant historical settlement used for carting water at the turn of the century. Precious water was carted from a gnamma hole (water lifted by bucket tied to a rope), a soak and two wells constructed by early pastoralists, skilfully lined with rocks. Three lonely graves of two babies and an earlier pioneer remind us of time gone by. A single apricot tree remains nearby the site of the original homestead. No camping or overnight parking.
