  On the 25" OSI Map the lower reservoir is already there, but the upper is "in construction. (You have to zoom right in to see them, though.)

• Sharon Corbet said:

  Wikipedia article on the Vartry reservoirs. The lower one was completed between 1863-68, the upper in 1923. The engineer was Parke Neville, the Dublin City and Waterworks Engineer. Plus a 1906 Postcard of the Vartry Reservoir in Stillorgan that this fed into.

  I'd guess from the shadows that it's looking more or less north but I don't see the sugarloaf.

• pan datale said:

  Fantastic

• Sharon Corbet said:

  derangedlemur I tried wandering around the reservoir on streetview, but eventually gave up. That said, this doesn't look too far off. The Sugarloaf is off to the right left.

Dam at Ingleburn

• Nat said:

  Very interesting - is it still there?

• Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:

  Nat According to Campbelltown City Council it is (PDF). It was built in 1934 so we can add post-1934 to our date above. AB

Burrinjuck Dam under construction

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

• Don Shearman said:

  There appears to be a date at the bottom left of this photo. ??-7-16? I have a few other photos of the construction of the dam with dates apparently around this time which I'll upload when I get a chance.

• Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:

  Don Shearman You're right! I checked the master version and even though the date is slightly cut off I can see 14.7.14. Good spot - I'll update the caption. AB

• Don Shearman said:

  Glad to be of help. I've also uploaded some of the photos I have of the construction here

• Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:

  Don Shearman Excellent, thanks for adding your link here.
