The cache was placed on Christmas Day by Gum-Ako and extended
family - to celebrate the location and also the fact that as well,
the family were home for Christmas. The has been a geocache nearby
in the past, but muggled and so delisted - but we think the spot is
worth a second go.
The wells were first dug by local indigenous people well before
white settlement in the area. Although offically the area was Port
Gawler, collquially the small settlement was known as Two Wells.
The distance of a day's journey by bullock and dray from Adelaide
meant that the facilities were well used. Following modernisation
of transport and water systems, the precise location of the wells
was lost. It was by chance that a local boy scavenging through the
town dump stumbled upon (and nearly in)a well, during the early
1960s. Adults investigated and the second well was found. The
locals were excited by the historic find and even more so by the
publishing of a picture of 7 local kids (including me!) on page 7
of the Advertiser! Community work ensured that the site was made
safe and area tidied up, ready for reopening as a small park in
1967.

Unfortunately the seat has gone walkabout, maybe it is because of its heritage. What a wonderful history lesson. SL T 2 x TB TFTC
