[1/1] Dalmore Well

Statement of Significance

Dalmore well, (later part of the Nar Nar Goon estate) is of significance to the Cardinia Shire because it is the only physical evidence of the early farming in the area which predated soldier settlement. It is all that remains of the old Dalmore homestead complex, built in about 1883 for Duncan MacGregor, which (with other large estates) was subdivided for soldier settlement after World War One. The well is a rare and large surviving example of the brick wells that were once an important feature of country properties, indicative by its size of the importance of the house it served.
