This place has historic value. It was the site of a small town, not a gazetted townsite, for prospectors working the eastern part of Nullagine gold fields. The town had a pub and store. The well and an old tank stand are some of the few things left to show the site of the old townsite.
There is an original well, in poor condition, situated in the Granites on Skull Springs on Mosquito Creek, 40 kms from Nullagine. The well has caved in.
In 1904, J Boyer, one of the earliest arrivals in Nullagine, owned the 'Pioneer Hotel' at Mosquito Creek, as well as a general store and a 10 head stamper battery there. In 1904-5 his firm was reportedly sinking a well at Mosquito Creek.
