If we can find more like it in other places we may discover WHO mined the coorong Heavy Mineral Sand HMS , many years ago Im working on finding some more wells like this one http://www.planbooktravel.com.au/region-images/SA/limestone-coast/limestone-coast-400x272/chinamans-well.jpg/image_preview its in the sand hills at 42 mile creek on the Coorong in South Australia , but I suspect it may be many thousands of years old http://www.arta.com.au/samaps/maps/coorong.gif White people call it chinamans well but it was named before chinamen were in the area , and it was used by early settlers Its very old , but no chinaman built it IMHO , Its design may indicate who did Do you recall seeing any like it in your travels ? or can you ask your friends if they can find an exact match else where Its clearly built by somebody who knew exactly what they were doing , so Im going to try and find more like it , and I suspect it may be built by the " sea peoples " in ancient times as its clear somebody was mining the Heavy Mineral Sands on this coast on a VAST scale , effectively what you see today as the Coorong and lower Lakes are man made , mines working the sands washed down the 2500 km River Murray over many millions of years SOMEBODY worked out most of the easy deposits within walking distance to water , long before Europeans arrived in 1836 kanga =====
