The Story of CY O'Connor (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780645124699)

The story of CY O'Connor is brought to life in this historical ballad that describes the amazing engineering accomplishment he achieved in providing a water supply to the Goldfields in Kalgoorlie from the City of Perth 600 km's away. CY O'Connor showed courage and determination in achieving this impossible "Goldfields Pipeline" which still supplies water to the Eastern Goldfields over 100 years later. First released as a phamplet in 1989 and sold in the Kalgoorlie Tourist Bureau, this great story is now released with full colour illustrations to share once again the tragedy and triumph of this great project.
