Information

The original fire tower and huts were ironically destroyed by fire in 1961, but rebuilt in 1962. "Mount Wells is the second highest fire tower in Western Australia. Views from the tower are integral for detecting fire, and observing weather conditions, as well as providing impressive views for tourists and locals. This is an important feature of past industry practices in the Boddington area. History - Traditionally the fire tower was constructed as a fire lookout for the surrounding timber milling industry. Nowadays the site is utilised for recreational use, a weather station, and on occasions, continues as a fire lookout."
