The place has associations with the establishment of the railway network to the Eastern Goldfields during the gold boom of the 1890s.
The place forms part of system of reservoirs and dams established to provide water for the steam engines that once operated on the railway; a function which is no longer practised.
The place is a good example of 1 dam and 1 rock catchment.
□ Stone lined dam with rock slab channel connection to granite outcrop and a rock slab overflow at opposite end of the dam. □The site contains one dam and one rock catchment.
In 1887 gold was discovered at Yilgarn and in 1888 the area was proclaimed a goldfield. Arthur Bayley and John Ford discovered gold in 1892 at Fly Flat (now known as Coolgardie). Shortly after this in 1894, Hannan, Flannigan and O’Shea found gold at Kalgoorlie leading to one of the biggest goldrushes in the state's history. This gold boom brought many people from throughout the state and the Eastern States to the Goldfields. The high population and a lack of fresh water due to the low rainfall and a lack of a permanent water source caused serious health and general living problems. A variety of alternative water sources were considered including condensing water, digging bores and carting water, but none were sufficient to meet the needs. This led to Premier Forrest's request to CY O'Connor, Engineer in Chief, to design and construct a water supply scheme to the goldfields. The Goldfields Water Supply Scheme was opened in 1903. The goldrush meant an increase in traffic between Perth and Kalgoorlie. Many walked or rode bicycles to the goldfields, but the increase in population meant supplies, material and water as well as people needed to be transported. The existing railway over the Darling Range was inadequate. CY O'Connor surveyed a route for a new railway line, replacing the one over the Darling Range and continuing on to Kalgoorlie which was opened in 1896. The steam trains used more than half the water they were able to carry and so an alternative water supply was needed. A series of dams and rock catchments were constructed. These utilized naturally formed granite outcrops. Low stone walls were built around the perimeter of the rock (sometimes two adjacent rocks were used). The water captured by the walls was directed into stone lined channels to either one or two dams or reservoirs. In some instances creeks were dammed to provide the water source. The water was pumped from these dams to tanks located beside the railway line. These pumps and the catchments itself were often maintained by a caretaker who lived on site. As places where water was available on the route to the goldfields, small settlements often developed around them. A number of these rock catchments and dams are now used regularly as recreation areas. Two (Karalee and Merredin) are included as sites on the National Trust's Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail.

The place forms part of system of reservoirs and dams established to provide water for the steam engines that once operated on the railway; a function which is no longer practised.
As with the other dams along the line, the place is now used as a recreation spot by visitors.
□ The place comprises a granite water catchment area, two associated dams and stone water channels. □ The catchment walls and the dam retaining walls are of stone construction. □ The site contains 2 dams and 1 rock catchment.

Bullbulling is located near a granite outcrop and there was a well established there by Hunt. It owes its existence chiefly to being a convenient rest stop along the Southern Cross Coolgardie route.

Jack Carins’ Camp is of cultural heritage significance as a particularly rare and intact example of the ‘making do’ approach to construction, frequently seen in the goldfields and remote areas, and as a demonstration of the way of life of the single prospector, common in the early goldrush period and continuing in some places today. The place makes a valuable contribution to the local community’s sense of place and is of some significance for the picturesque qualities of its rustic style and natural landscape setting. The nearby operating gold mine treatment plant contributes to the significance of the place by providing a stark comparison to this simple way of life.

Constructed from 1902
A representative industrial building form of historical significance, still performing the same gold extraction function for which it was built in 1902, and reflecting the mining history of Coolgardie.
The buildings are the original ones dating from 1902, comprising simple timber framed, corrugated iron lined industrial structures designed for their particular functions, ie stock pilling and crushing ore and extracting gold. The machinery has been updated several times, converting from steam to gas to oil and then to electricity.
One of a number of state built batteries and one of the few intact and remaining in operation.
