Statement of Significance
Notable for its part in providing water for the steam trains which operated on the railways which
played an important role in the further development of the Williams District.
Physical Description
Located to the east of the Congelin Siding among the Dryandra Forest.
History
Suitable sites for railway dams were an important consideration in determining railway routes and
the positioning of sidings. A dam site must have sufficient elevation to gravitate the water to a
siding a short distance away, yet have enough catchment to supply the requirements.
