Located in Oak Street, the Windmill is a symbol of the vital role Artesian Water plays in Outback Queensland. Constructed by Sidney Williams and Company in 1917, this historic mill stands on the site of Queensland's first flowing bore. With a 27-foot wheel, the Windmill is capable of pumping water even in wind speeds as low as three kilometres per hour, showcasing the ingenuity and resilience that defined the region's early water management systems.
