As water is a precious resource in this dry climate the catchment and retaining of water has always been an important aspect which has been addressed in various ways by the Water Authority. This tank is the only one of it's type in the shire and is therefore significant.
A large rock masonry reservoir fed by water from the larger rock higher up. The rock has a retaining wall around the bottom edge to direct the water into a cement lined sluice which then runs into the tank. A dirt bank, higher than the tank surrounds the tank on three sides.
Integrity: Mostly Intact Modifications: Earth bank around perimeter.
Reasonable: roof needs some iron replaced
