Event Description

Did you know that we have the longest fresh water pipeline in the world? On today’s walk (approx 6.5km) we explore the history and controversy surrounding the construction of the Mundaring Weir, the pump stations and the pipeline which transports water a massive 560km! With our guide from the National Trust, we follow the O’Connor Trail, the Bibbulmun Track and the Weir Walk. Visit the No1 Pump Station and the remains of the No2 Pump Station. Our tour of one of Australia’s most significant industrial heritage sites ends at the historic Mundaring Weir Hotel.

Cost: $35 members, $45 non-members. Includes National Trust guide, experienced Bibbulmun Track guide, entry and tour of No1 Pump Station and tea/coffee. Beverages at hotel not included. BYO lunch.
