	Mundaring, Western Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mundaring and Hills Historical Society has shire patronage and funding, and has been effective in attracting interest and cultivating research and collection of materials that relate to the considerable history of the shire.
		Mundaring railway station, and the branch railway leading from it - the Mundaring Weir Branch Railway were significant locations for the construction of the Mundaring Weir.
		The line through Mundaring was known as the 'Mundaring Loop' to railway administration in its later years of operation, while in earlier years it was known as 'Smiths Mill Branch' (the earlier name for Glen Forrest).

	Swan River System Landscape Description (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
		In the valley between the lower pipe head dam and the Mundaring Weir the vegetation is dominated by a marri, jarrah and wandoo open woodland as well as sections of heath and herblands.
		On the higher ground around the Mundaring weir the vegetation community is similar to the valley community, however interspersed with the marri, jarrah and wandoo are the large tall and regularly branched flbutt trees.
		At the weir, there is an interesting contrast to the indigenous woodland with the planting of exotic trees such as pines and confers.

	Walkabout - Mundaring
		Located 39 km from Perth and now considered an outer suburb of the city, Mundaring's main claim to fame is the Mundaring Weir which, through the remarkable engineering achievements of Charles Yelverton O'Connor, supplies water to the towns in the wheatbelt and across to Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie.
		It was on this road that the settlement of Mundaring slowly evolved.
		People interested in walking in the Mundaring area should obtain a copy of the Kattamorda Heritage Trail which is a 27 km walking trail which starts at Mundaring Weir Road, includes the Weir and Museum, and continues along the old horse tramway paying particular attention to the flora and natural history of the region.

	Popular Culture Collective - Hubs - City Imaging
		It is home to the Mundaring Weir and boasts a unique lifestyle nestled in the hills, in the outer metropolitan area.
		Mundaring is not outside of capitalist structures because of a geographic distance from the blatant consumer-haven of Midland.
		A minority of Mundaring residents may be nostalgic for an artsy, cottage, hobbit-style community, but it needs to be acknowledged that their shire is not outside the capitalist state.

	Mundaring Weir (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
		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.

		This modelling study assessed the vertical distribution and mixing of water introduced to Mundaring Weir from the Lower Helena Reservoir, Western Australia.
		However, the Lower Helena Reservoir has significantly poorer water quality than the Mundaring Weir and an increasing volume of the poor quality pump-back water was being required to meet demand.
		The Water Corporation had commissioned the design of a water treatment plant at Mundaring Weir and contracted CWR to provide a preliminary assessment of the mixing of the pump-back water within the Mundaring Weir.
