The Tank Stream supplied the people of the First Fleet with water during the early years of colonisation. This stream still runs underneath the streets of Sydney today. It remained the colony's chief source of fresh water for forty years, until it was supplemented by "Busby's Bore", also known as Lachlan Tunnel.
