At the crest of the Darling Ranges, 40km from Perth and 7km south of the town of Mundaring on the Great Eastern Highway, is Mundaring Weir, a dam constructed in the 1890s to provide water for the Goldfields Water Scheme.
At the time, a desperate water shortage was hampering development of the Eastern Goldfields and the dam was part of the innovative solution devised by the colony’s chief engineer, C.Y. O’Connor, who planned to raise the water the 400km up to Kalgoorlie with the aid of a series of pumping stations.
Inside are early versions of the pitch and wood pipeline, at that time the longest in the world, and details of O’Connor’s other public works, as well as a biographical video on his achievements.
