Image depicting a concrete well captured in 2023. As part of Colemans Tunnel, it was built during 1881-1882. The well now remains concealed within the surrounding vegetation. Moreover, the entrance to the connected tunnel has been purposefully buried under rocks in the 1980s. Today, the rocks themselves are hidden by regenerating bush and blackberry vines.
