 Description of Original Holland Tank

This is the site of the original Holland Tank built by John Holland in 1890, which in those days were built into the ground so water could flow and seep into them. Today, you'll just see an overgrown depression in the ground, but this is what Holland used to store water and was his base for his sandalwood pulling operation.

Not to be confused with another site about 70km north east correctly known as Holland Rocks, but often mistakenly refered to as Holland Tank, where a modern concrete water tank lies by the side of the road with tracks leading to a granite rock formation.

Holland Track Holland Track
From Broome Hill to Coolgardie, the Holland Track was originally built in the gold rush days as a shortcut to the Goldfields. Hardly ever visited for nearly 100 years, it was re-cut as a 4WD track in 1992 and is a popular trip with locals. [Feature Story]

Junction,Intersection,Turn Off 
The green fibreglass tank on the stand you see from the main road (shown in the picture) isn't Holland's Tank, so you must follow the track 300m into the reserve from this point. At this site, you'll simply see a hole in the ground - in Holland's day "tanks" were built into the ground so water could flow and seep into them.
