Statement of Significance

The Trayning Well has considerable historic significance for its association with the old goldfields route and Charles Adams. It is evidence of the workmanship put into the construction of these structures, a number of which remain in varying states of condition.

Physical Description

The Trayning Well is located immediately to the west of the Kellerberrin- Bencubbin Road. The stone lined well is fenced off with a wire and metal posts. A recent fire has burnt all the nearby trees.
