Jim Connor on the history of the Maroondah Aqueduct

This talk will be given by Jim Connor, president of the Eltham District Historical Society.

When we turn on a tap, do we really think about what is involved in getting the precious water to us.

This presentation will explore the history of the Maroondah Aqueduct, why and how it was constructed, some of the technology utilised and how it supported the development of Melbourne.

Jim guarantees that you will not get your feet wet during this journey along the aqueduct, though you might like to bring your own water, just in case you get thirsty.
