Mount Victoria Well and Whim Historic Site |
| Significance |
This assembly of water-raising implements, storage and watering facilities is associated with the pioneering pastoral activity in the area and such a collection is rare in the State.
In the period 1878-1880 the Plumbago Block of Bimbowrie Station was divided into five paddocks, Arkanla, Mt Victoria, Mindamereeka, Billaroo and Kulka. Each was surrounded with a vermin proof fence and supplied with a well, large stone trough and tank.
In the late 1930s the Plumbago Block was separated from Bimbowrie to form Plumbago Station, and the Mt Victoria Well was used as an outstation of Plumbago until 1965. (HCB Assessment Report 1983) |
