Well and Whim, Coochilara Waterhole, Merty Merty Station |
| Registered Name |
Well and Whim, Merty Merty Station |
| Significance |
Historically, the iron water whim and well, built between 1875-1885, are significant because they exemplify the importance of water supply along the Strzelecki Track, which became a major stock route after the railhead to Farina was opened in 1882. In a harsh and arid land, these wells provided precious water to drovers with their stock and to carriers of supplies to remote stations. The iron whim displays evident blacksmithing skills. Compared with other wells in the area, it is of an unusual design. (HCB Report 10/8/84) |
