Gabbining Soak Tank

Statement of Significance

Gabbinning Tank and the Snake Soak Tank are situated on or near points where early explorers, sandalwooders and settlers obtained water and the building of all tanks mentioned was part of the ongoing effort to retain the small amounts of rain water that fall in the shire. Tanks of the same construction are still used at Beebeegnying, Wialki, Warkutting, Cleary, Beacon, Sand Soak and Marindo (known locally as Christe's Tank).

Physical Description

A round reinforced cement walled tank made by pouring the material into forms. the water is fed to the tank from a rock with retaining walls at the bottom, which then channels the water into pipes and into the tank via a header tower. The original soak which was used by explorers, sandalwooders and early settlers is nearby.
