Two Wells - Yorke Peninsula, South Australia

History

Two Wells, as the name suggests, is situated around two wells. The local Aboriginal tribes, the early bullockies and Shepherd's, originally used the two waterholes. With the finding of copper, there was a demand for water in this area as the road traffic increased; and to cater for this they deepened the holes. Later once the demand declined and the waterholes ceased being used the holes were filled in, and later found in 1967. The two wells have since been restored to their former condition, set in picturesque gardens with picnic facilities.
