Although in poor condition the Doodlakine Well has high historic significance for its association with the early sheep grazing industry in the district and for its link with Charles Cooke Hunt.
Located near the intersection of the Old Goldfields Road and the Doodlakine-Kununoppin Road, the well is 100 metres north of the Old Goldfields Road. It is a stone lined well which has collapsed in and is overgrown.
The Doodlakine Well is marked by a Bicentennial plaque which reads: "A sheep run was established around this well in early 1864 by farmer B.D. Clarkson. On February 10, 1865 explorer Charles Cooke Hunt's construction party was engaged in deepening and stoning the well to make it more serviceable."
