Summary
edit
| Description |
The Tambourine Bay Well was built in 1833 by Thomas Duckworth to help collect the pure water from a spring above. This was a source of water for the surrounding districts, with people coming from as far as Hunter’s Hill and Longueville, especially in times of drought. The well was dug out of sandstone to about one metre deep. It had been filled in, but was uncovered in 1991. Filling the oval at St Ignatius College has affected the clarity of the water. The orange colour is caused by iron-feeding algae, encouraged by the loose sandstone fill. |
