Hi all,
Some of you are aware I’m writing up the history of the CSR and hopefully it will soon be finished.
I recently became aware of a
plaque at
Well 14 commemorating the death of Kevin Weckert, who died there of a heart attack in 2003. A visitors book has been placed at the
well by the family and I’m told it contains
information about Kevin’s death.
Did anyone happen to photograph the info in the visitors book or be able to tell me what the
information is. If so could you please advise.
Image Could Not Be Found
So far the info I have is;
South Australian Kevin Weckert was fulfilling his dream of crossing the CSR, when at
Well 14 on the 30 May 2003 he passed away. He was unwell at
Well 16, so he turned back heading for
Wiluna and but died of a heart attack at
Well 14. His family have erected a visitor book and memorial to him at the
well.
Many thanks in advance,
