Mundaring Weir
|
|
One of the World's greatest engineering projects, and now a popular picnic spot with free
Barbecues, Mundaring Weir is definitely worth a visit. The No. 1 Pump Station is now a Museum, where you
can discover the history of the Weir and the man behind it: C.Y. O'Connor. Plus there are pleasant walk
trails with some stunning views to be enjoyed.
