The site is important for its association with pioneering families and as a source of fresh water.
Located close to the Flagstaff Road 10 metres and at the northern end of Billie Light Swamp. Marked on early maps with comment 'permanent supply'. The site has been excavated for stock access but when inspected in April 99 and April 2000 it was dry, although some dampness was evident at the bottom
The site is part of a property taken up and developed by Billie Light. He was in partnership with Andy Wight. Before going farming Light had been the penciller for the bookmaker Wight. Light established a substantial vineyard and produced some of the best currants and sultanas in the State. The name Wardering is of Aboriginal origin and is also the name of a nearby lake.
