Yerbillon to Ghooli See & Do Hunt's Well
Hunt’s Well & Lake Koorkoordine
One of Hunt’s wells is located 7 km north of Southern Cross at the base of a granite outcrop near Lake Koorkoordine.
When constructed the well was 10 ft (3 m) in diameter and 10 ft (3 m) deep. It was said to be capable of supplying 10 bullocks, 10 horses, and 15 men for a month.
Around the lake, water and wind erosion have created a number of miniature caves, cliffs and bays.
