Carrow wells 21/03/14

I Carrow wells is located on the coast road just past port Neil in SA. It was noticed that aboriginals would dig holes for water and these were made into wells by the white settlers in the early 1900s. When demand was at its greatest many settlers would arrive by wagon at the same time ( like the deli at woollies) therefore some settlers and farmers could take up too 36 hours to get a load of water and return home. They bucketed the water from the wells then carried it up a plank into the tank on their wagons. We spent three wonderful days her fishing and exploring the coast line. There is a long drop funny where some enterprising thoughful person has left a 25 kg bag of hydrated lime you flush the dunny with half a coke can of line after you have down your business of course. By using the lime it keeps the long drop hygienic and odour free which a welcome change for one of these long drop dunnies.
