Tauragat Well Centenary Print Page 
The plaque commemorates the centenary of Tauragat Well and is a tribute to the pioneers.
Tauragat Well is a disused well in the Australian state of South Australia located in the locality of Coonalpyn along the Coonalpyn-Lameroo Road approximately 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) north east of the locality's town centre.
The well was built in 1876 on land in what is now section 48 of the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Livingstone to water stock on route either to the greater South East or up north east to the Mallee.
The land of an area of 10 acres (4.0 ha) around the well was surveyed in July 1909 and was later dedicated as a water conservation reserve in 1911. In 1931, the reserve was transferred to the control of the District Council of Peake. Prior to 1998, the land is reported as being transferred to the National Trust of South Australia..
