Well is located within a 600 acre DPaW Class A1 Reserve, 17km east of
Dowerin, at the
intersection of the
Cunderdin-
Minnivale and
Goomalling-Merredin Roads.
Built sometime before 1865, making it the earliest European built structure in the area, this
well was initially used to provide water for miners and travellers. Later horse teams carting wheat to
Minnivale found it essential as it held sufficient water for 70 horses.
