This week's PhotoHunter theme is "vertical".
This hole measures 1.8m x 1.2m and drops vertically over 58 meters (200 feet) into the ground. The original timber-lined shaft was built in the 1870's. It is located in the 270,000 hectare Ngarkat Conservation Park in South Australia. It is the last surviving well, a relic of local pastoral history, in the Pinnaroo district.

what an amazing find! a timber-lined well--i've never seen anything like this before. thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMine shafts are such scarey things to me! Good to see a grid over this one! Great idea for the vertical theme!
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Things like this fascinate me, it tells you how people live in the old times.
ReplyDeleteHi Maya, a great photo and take for this week's theme. I have never heard of well using timber before. A very unique and interesting find for this week's photohunt.
ReplyDeleteThat is cool. I haven't seen one lined with timber either but it kinda makes sense. Especially that deep - you have to use what you have on hand. But just think about digging and building it - gives me shivers.
ReplyDeletealoha,
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing your interpretation of the verticle them today, i like the photos of this well, scary
Now, that's what I call Vertical! And a long way down! Excellent take on the v-theme!
