an artesian bore site where possibly the only date plantation was established. It demonstrated that good quality dates could be grown but its costly upkeep caused its abandonment. It is now just like a deserted oasis in the desert. The artesian bore was 1360 feet deep giving 120,000 gallons daily of almost fresh water. It is situated about 20 miles from Marree on the Birdsville Stock Route. 12/12/1937'
