Kodjerning
Well is near a low lying
rock by the same name within a few metres of the road and is fenced and signposted. The fencing was refurbished in 2021. It is located just off the
Moorine Rock Road.
Hunt’s party constructed this
well in 1865. He recorded:
21 April 1865. Friday. … start for Kookoordine by way of Kodgering …. At this place I entend to make another
well, as there is every indication of permanent water and stone, to stone it up with.
Hunt re-visited Kodjerning on 21 July 1866:
… at 7am started for Kookoordine – in route passing Kodjerning Govt.
well distant from last halt abt. 7
miles by track the
well I found containing 2 ft 9 ins of water – about the same as when dug – in March 1865.
