Datjoin was mentioned by explorers as a watering point. It is thought that it was dug and maintained by sandalwooders, James and Edward Moran in the early 1900, and was eventually timbered by the Public Works Department. It was a major watering point on the Wyalkatchem-Mt Marshall line.
Datjoiin is a rectangular well dug down intot he granite rock and then the side walls built to the top with sleepers, it is 4.5 m deep. When full, the well supplies approximately 800 litres of water. In 1928 a creek was recorded as running through the site.
Integrity: None (rebuilt by Jobskills in original style).
