Statement of Significance
Pinch Gut Well has some local historic significance only for its association with the sandalwood industry and as a source of much needed water.
Physical Description
Site not visited. The well is stone lined.
History
Tom Berrigan put several wells down including Pinch Gut, which was named as such because the water gave those who drank it a stomach ache. It is located in the path of a creek and consequently has often been washed out. The well is on an old sandalwood cutters' track. (Heydon, p68)
