Mundaring Weir - O'Connor Museum The entrance to the C.Y. O'Connor museum. That brickwork on the left is the base of the chimney stack. This building is in excellent condition - I'm glad I wasn't the brickie who restored that stack! April 2009 |

Mundaring Weir - Dam Wall A good view of the "dry" side of the dam wall. And it's stayed dry for years. I don't think the dam has overflowed for at least 20 years. April 2009 |

Mundaring Weir - Dam Wall This is the walk-way traversing the top of the dam. You can see the low water level. This is April, however, after a long and dry summer, so hopefully soon the water level will rise. April 2009 |

Mundaring Weir - Dam Wall Over towards the north end of the dam wall is this building. It's a popular landmark up here. I suspect this may be an old pump house or control station for the spillways? April 2009 |

Mundaring Weir - Craft Shop Mundaring Weir Arts & Crafts Centre - looks like a converted old hall. The brickwork looks really good. April 2009 |

Mundaring Weir - Weir Hotel The magnificent looking Weir Hotel in the Weir Village area, just off the Kalamunda - Mundaring road. Good clientele today. This is a substantial amphitheatre at the rear, today filled with chairs so some entertainment must be happening. January 2012 |
|
|
Mundaring Weir - Outside Hotel I wonder how many functional old red phone boxes remain in existence. Even though this one is minus the door? It adds to the charm of the area. April 2009 |

Mundaring Weir - Pipelines A few kilometres from Number One Pumping Station the water pipelines start their long 650km journey to Kalgoorlie wending through the Darling Scarp. April 2009 |
