Mundaring Weir Western Australia, jewel of the Perth hills in HD

A short flyover of the dam at Mundaring Weir in the Perth Hills, Western Australia. Completed in 1903 to pump water to the parched Kalgoorlie goldfields 700km away. The brainchild of C.Y. O'Connor; a brilliant engineer who endured public criticism over the ambitious project and sadly took his own life before completion of the scheme.

Shire of Mundaring

Nestled in the heart of the Perth Hills, 40 minutes east of Perth, is Mundaring. Transport yourself from the hustle and bustle of the city to a place where you can be totally immersed in nature.

One third of the Shire is classified as State Forest with a bountiful selection of trails to enjoy including six of the State's Top Trails. The Railway Reserves Heritage Trail stretches 59kms through the Shire linking the charming settlements that evolved alongside the old railway line. Bibbulmun Track passes through Mundaring on its way to Albany in the south-west and the Munda Biddi off-road cycle trail head is located in Mundaring Community Sculpture Park, making Mundaring an ideal starting point to enjoy some of the region's stunning scenery.

A visit to Mundaring Weir and the museum at No.1 Pump Station is a must. Although the project was completed more than 100 years ago it remains one of the longest freshwater pipelines in the world and a starting point for the Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail and Kep Track.

Other attractions to discover include first-class restaurants, cafes and boutique wineries, a famous pizzeria, open-air markets, art galleries, outdoor concerts and heritage-listed hotels, inns and taverns oozing with country charm. Idyllic picnic spots at Lake Leschenaultia, John Forrest and Beelu National Parks, plus many nature-based activities can complete your Hills experience. There's also a range of accommodation on offer, whether it's a romantic luxury hideaway or a quiet camping spot that appeals.

Mundaring Visitor Centre is located in The Old School in the heart of Mundaring and the best starting point to explore the region.

Mundaring Weir Dam Tourist Attraction Traveling Western Australia 4K The insane project in the history building dam to supply water to Kalgorlie 650 km pipeline.

As well as being an idyllic place for a scenic drive, a picnic with friends, or bushwalking, Mundaring Weir is also an important part of Western Australia's heritage.

Located in natural bushland in the Perth Hills, Mundaring Weir is one of the world's greatest engineering projects.

Completed in 1903, the Weir was the start of the water pipeline that pumped water to the Kalgoorlie goldfields, some 700 kilometres away.

At the foot of the weir is the Number 1 Pump Station Museum where you can learn more about the brilliant engineer behind the project, C.Y. O'Connor, who endured much public criticism and tragically took his own life.

A drive trail that follows the pipeline called the Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail starts at the museum.

There are several walking trails around Mundaring Weir that take you deep into virgin bush.

You'll see beautiful native plants, animals and plenty of birds. You can also walk across the massive concrete Weir wall.

Pack a picnic and enjoy the barbecue facilities, grassed areas and shady trees. While improvement works are underway, there will be limited access both above and below the Weir wall.

Mundaring Weir Historical DAM CONSTRUCTION 1898-1901 PERTH WESTERN AUSTRALIA

ARCHIVAL PHOTOS FROM BATTYE LIBRARY
HISTORY
Mundaring Weir is the name of a dam (and historically the adjoining locality) which are located 39 km from Perth, Western Australia in the Darling Scarp. It is currently located in the Mundaring locality. The dam crosses the Helena River. The town of Mundaring was gazetted in 1898, the same year as the commencement of construction of the dam. A soldier, Ensign Robert Dale, became the first European to explore the region in 1829.

European populations did not grow significantly until construction of the dam in the late 1890s. This involved the building of a railway line from Mundaring to the Mundaring Weir site. The Irish Australian engineer C. Y. O'Connor was involved the design of a scheme that transported water to the Eastern Goldfields of Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie in the eastern part of Western Australia.

Work commenced to raise the dam in the late 1940s, which was completed in November 1951.

In the early 1970s the downstream dam from the weir — the 'pipehead dam' was constructed. Mundaring Weir was the terminus of the Mundaring Weir Branch Railway, which was originally constructed by the Public Works Department of WA for the transport of materials for the construction of the dam.

It was not only after the completion of the weir that the location became popular with picnickers and sightseers, the project caught the imagination of the public in Perth.

The landscaped grounds of the weir, and the lower zig-zag section of the end of the railway line (which can still be seen when the capacity of the dams falls below approximately 35%) feature prominently in post cards of numerous weekend and special picnic excursion trains that travelled to the weir until the late 1940s.

The steepness of the Mundaring weir railway line restricted the capacity of the railways to conduct the picnic trains, as the Msa Garratt steam engines were the most suitable, but in short supply, at times when the weir was overflowing in the 1940s.

The railway line was closed in 1952.
