Boothtown Aqueduct, Heritage water bridge in Greystanes, Australia.
The Boothtown Aqueduct spans 225 meters across a valley with 22 brick arches, each extending over 10 meters and supported by reinforced concrete legs.
Constructed between 1886 and 1888, the aqueduct carried water from Prospect Reservoir to Potts Hill Reservoir until its bypass in 1907 by a concrete syphon.
The structure incorporates Victorian Romanesque design elements, featuring lancet-arched doorways, decorative brickwork, and architectural details reflecting late 19th-century engineering practices.
Visitors can access the aqueduct via Macquarie Road or Gipps Road, with parking facilities available and several bus stops located near the entrance points.
The structure holds the distinction of being Australia's longest continuous concrete construction during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
