Kodjerning Rock & Well - WA

Kodjerning Well is near a low lying rock by the same name within a few metres of the road and is fenced and signposted. The fencing was refurbished in 2021. It is located just off the Moorine Rock Road.

Hunt’s party constructed this well in 1865. He recorded:

21 April 1865. Friday. … start for Kookoordine by way of Kodgering …. At this place I entend to make another well, as there is every indication of permanent water and stone, to stone it up with.
