17 Mile Well Publishing Pty Ltd

Telling Australian Yarns.

17 Mile Well Publishing was established in 2005 to publish and promote the novel ‘Enduring Deception’.

The company gets its name from 17 Mile Well, a water bore and wind mill located on Quobba Station in a remote part of Western Australia. One of thousands of historic wells across the State, it provides essential water for sheep grazing in the area. This particular well was the site where a large number of German sailors armed with machine guns had come ashore during WWII but who were taken into custody by an unlikely trio of a local doctor, an airforce pilot and policeman, armed only with one pistol between them.
