Gnarlbine Rock Well and Plaques - WA

Plaques at this site read: "Explorer Charles Cooke Hunt first camped at this rock on August 16th 1864, noting that the water might prove useful. In 1888 explorer and prospector Gilles McPherson was saved by an Aboriginal boy named Toobey who led him to this well after he was unable to find water."

Gnarlbine Rock

Nearby is Gnarlbine Rock where Holland had aimed for here from Broomehill and was "most pleased" with their navigation when they came straight on to it. The soak at Gnarlbine was the principal water supply for the Coolgardie goldrush and has many plaques commemorating the explorers who passed that way. Historic well, and plaques here explain the story.
