Please create a New Place for Skulls Tanks so we can tag your photos to the place so others can find it on the map thanks.

On second thoughts, Ivy Tanks wrong. On the track north of Cook going to Volkes Hill Corner.

Hi Stephen

I'll have a stab.....

Have been to Skull Tanks a few years back on a trip through the Gawler Ranges returning from a Googs Track trip. I think your pic is possibly Middle Tank, just north of Skull Tanks on the Gawler Ranges Rd. I must have driven past it but can't recall seeing them.
Cheers

Paul

You are in the right area, same idea of water collection, but these may help you more.

It looks like if it is not in Places or on the EOTopo Map, it is not important for people to stop and investigate.

Hi Stephen,

Looks like Skull Tanks with the road to the right of the photo, but as you have already said that's not it.
These tanks all look very similar, Even Ivy Tanks look like this. I've run out of options although I have been through this area it was many years back. I think it was about 2002.
You've got me on this one.....
Cheers
Paul

Might let someone else have a go. I can't recall any others out there but it was 18 years ago I was last out there..
I could find it if I scoured my maps, but couldn't say I've seen it

No idea where Dan Hole tank is located but based on being close to Lilyrocks I will ask is it Maraka Tank, Stone Tank or Terrys Tank.

Frank,

Your wild guess has paid off, well done.

Yes it’s name is the Smith Shed Tanks, and like most of the similar shed tanks, have fallen into disrepair, and not sure if they are, but they should be heritage listed.

One again, well done

Thanks Stephen.

Been down that road a couple of times a few years ago. Lovely drive, but we didn't stop at all the tanks. Camped at Waltumba campground on the western side of Lake Gairdner.

Went past Thurlga Station on our way to Kimba. Two kids came running out and waved us down, treated us like royalty. Dunno why, Thurlga is a bit remote, but not THAT remote. They wanted all the news - where we'd come from, where're we going to, why, wanna see my pet lizard and emu, how many kids do we have, where do they live? Cute kids, probably don't see many visitors.

Cheers
FrankP
