Statement of Significance
Barnard Springs Trough and wetland are of scientific and educational importance. The place represents a diversity of species, plant communities and presence of endangered species. The wetland and remnant vegetation support an array of aquatic life including long-necked tortoises.
The place is of aesthetic and recreational significance.
The trough and dam are of historical significance and are rare and fragile.
The place is associated with Barnard Drummond Clarkson, a pastoralist, farmer and explorer who was the property owner in 1896.
Physical Description
The site consists of an historic dam and stock watering trough carved from two sections of trees and includes a feeder pipe between the dam and the trough. A permanent natural spring feeds the dam which feeds the natural wetland after passing through the pipe and trough. There are also other small springs in the wetland. The flooded gum forest is also a significant vegetation complex which is rare.
History
According to local sources, the spring in Bullsbrook was a watering place before the trough was built for stock travelling to the metropolitan markets. The year the dam and trough was built is unknown.
