Golden Pipeline
A time capsule of water,
gold & Western Australia
A project from the National Trust of WA
A self-guided drive trail between the Perth Hills and Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields. Go with the Flow. Follow the water to discover more about the audacious goldfields water supply scheme and Engineer CY O’Connor.
“Future generations, I am quite certain will think of us and bless us for our far seeing patriotism, and it will be said of us, as Isaiah said of old, ‘They made a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert”
See & Do
The last stretch of the water’s journey from the forested hills on Perth’s outskirts to the parched red earth of the Eastern Goldfields.
For the traveller following the water’s path this section has a great deal to offer, particularly because this is where the Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail’s twin theme of gold comes into its own. Both Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie were built on gold and there is much to see and do in both.
Events
Some of the communities situated along the length of Golden Pipeline hold annual events.
