Hand Water Pump sign Structures like this housed theA cast iron hand pump stands on a square pedestal in a paddock at Jembaicumbene, a galvanised bucket hung from its spout and tall grass grown up around its base. The property draws water from spring fed wells and a millpond that have supplied the land since the 1830s, when Roberts and Badgery established their pastoral estate on this stretch of granite country above Jembaicumbene Creek. Part of the Mill Pond Farm series.
