Unmanned location on the  Peterborough-Quorn Line .

A water tower on the main line. No sidings or loops.

The tank was filled with water from a well which was purchased from a Mr Hall in 1897 (hence the name Halls Well) and was notable as being the only source of underground water used by the SAR. It was mostly used as a "top-up" for freight trains making the long climb from Orroroo to Eurelia which has some of the steepest grades on the line.
