Geocache Description:

Weengallon Aboriginal rock wells


 

Located beside the Barwon Highway between Goondiwindi and St George (Cnr Barwon Hwy and Daymar-Rockwell Rd). The Weengallon Rock Wells traditionally form part of a trail of Aboriginal rock wells extending to northern Queensland. Known in the local Aboriginal language as ‘Ngaru-gi Gali’ (to drink), there are six wells at the Weengallon site, some of which are up to three metres deep. Road signs identifying the rock wells as a significant cultural area have also been erected, giving visitors some insight to the history and spiritual significance of the site. They were a very important water source for Aboriginal people in the journey from across Queensland that many tribes used to make every three years to attend trading and ceremonial activities at Boobera Lagoon, near Goondiwindi.

There is no need to enter the rock well areas to find the cache.

THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT CULTURAL AREA, PLEASE USE RESPECT!
