It was made from the courage of visionary men and the heart break of CY O'Connor
C Y O'Connor was an engineer who was famous for building the goldfields pipeline known as the Golden Pipeline. Unlike the goldfields in the east, the western goldfields were dry and arid, and miners lacked access to fresh water. The Golden Pipeline extends 560 km from Mundaring Weir near Perth to Kalgoorlie in the goldfields. It was built during the 1890s.

The Hazira-Vijaipur-Jagdishpur pipeline is 2800km long.
Camel trains were the best use though they also used steam trains way back in the olden days. Camel trains took over 5 days to reach kalgoorlie and Coolgardie then they had to keep going back and forth every time; they did eventually work out shifts for everyone.
