Mundaring Dam

We went for a drive through Kalamunda where we stopped for lunch then onto Mundaring, we enjoyed a walk across the Dam then along the bottom of the dam wall.
European populations did not grow significantly until construction of the dam in the late 1890s. This involved the building of a Mundaring Weir railway line to the Mundaring Weir site.
The Irish Australian engineer C.Y. O'Connor was involved in the design of a scheme that transported water to the Eastern Goldfields of Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie in the eastern part of Western Australia. The weir was completed in 1903.
