About this spot
Located in natural bushland in the Perth Hills, Mundaring Weir is one of the world's greatest engineering projects.
Completed in 1903 No 1 Pump Station sits in an area known as Minderinjy to the local Whadjuk people at the foot of Mundaring Weir, which dams Mandoon (Helena) River, 39 km east of Perth.
No 1 Pump Station was the first of eight steam pump stations constructed as part of the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme. Designed by CY O’Connor the pipeline traverses a distance of 560 km from the Perth hills to the WA Goldfields to bring precious water to this notoriously dry part of the state.
