Information

Artists in the past used to go to this place to paint and to reflect. The springs used to have an ample supply of water but recent droughts have seen it dry up. The Palm Trees date back to the late 1800's when there was lots of activity with the building of the Overland Telegraph Line between Adelaide and Darwin.
