At Mundaring Weir in the Darling Range, is the No 1 Pump Station for the 'Golden Pipeline' which was designed and built by CY O'Connor in 1898-1902 to send 5-6 million gallons of water to the Goldfields of Kalgoorlie where water is very scarce.
There is a museum run by the National Trust and we enjoyed touring it and we marvelled at the enormous and very successful project.

Is that the pipeline that was late in getting the water to the gold fields and the engineer killed himself?
