    Description:

    Enjoy this spectacular expanse of water lying in the peaceful Helena River Valley. Mundaring Weir provides the water for farms, mines and towns inland as far afield as Kalgoorlie. The pristine beauty of the weir has made it a popular spot to visit. Rolling lawns and natural bush surround the weir and it is along the route of the Bibbulmum Track. The weir is a wonderful day's walk from the track's starting point at Kalamunda. There is a history museum on site, the C.Y. O'Connor Museum, named after the engineer who masterminded the original water pipeline.
