It also lies to the north west of the Great Central Road and the Great Victoria Desert. Its surface elevation is 436 metres above mean sea-level.[2] Lake Wells has an area of 1895 square kilometres.[3] DiscoveryLake Wells was discovered in March 1892 during the second part of The Elder Scientific Exploring Expedition 1891-1892.[4] The 1891 phase of the expedition led by David Lindsay had been recalled by its benefactor Sir Thomas Elder, so in February 1892 Lindsay sent his second in command Lawrence Wells on a smaller expedition to explore the area east of the Murchison River in Western Australia.[5] During this expedition Wells (a surveyor) found and named Lake Way, Lake Darlot and Lake Wells.
