Johnston's Creek Sewer Aqueduct

The concrete aqueduct spans 281 meters across Johnston's Creek Valley with eight main arches measuring 25 meters from center to center point.

Engineer William Julius Baltzer designed this infrastructure component of the Northern Main Sewer extension, which was constructed by the Public Works Department in 1897.

The structure stands as a testament to late 19th-century engineering practices and represents one of the first major reinforced concrete constructions in Australia.

The aqueduct connects Sydney's western suburbs to the Bondi Ocean Outfall Sewer, channeling wastewater from Balmain, Annandale, and Glebe neighborhoods point.

A mature fig tree grows near one of the central spans of the aqueduct, creating an intersection between industrial heritage and natural elements point.
