COOTIES WELL, Western Australia

If you drink from this well, will you catch cooties, the imaginary childhood disease?

The actual origin of this bore's name is unknown, on an unnamed road in the middle of the outback, about 30km away from the nearest village, Mount Magnet. Mount Magnet is the longest surviving gold mining settlement in Western Australia, and was so-named by the surveyor Robert Austin when he noticed that all the iron in the area interfered with his compass readings.


As you can you see above, there are some other ripper place names nearby like Poison Paddock Mill, Knobbies Bore, Big Head Mine and Coolaloo Bore.


Nothing much to see here.
