Boothtown Aqueduct

The Boothtown Aqueduct, a heritage-listed 19th-century water bridge built in the Victorian Romanesque style, is located in Greystanes, though you would be forgiven to think you were in Europe. Constructed in 1888 as part of the Upper Nepean Scheme, the aqueduct was designed to carry water from the newly established Prospect Reservoir to the Potts Hill reservoir, supplying residents of Greater Western Sydney.
At the time of its construction in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this impressive structure within the Lower Prospect Canal Reserve was the longest continuous concrete work of its kind in Australia. Its historical significance was formally recognised in November 1991 with its listing on the New South Wales Heritage Database.
Visitors can explore the historic Boothtown Aqueduct by entering the pathway or trail at the end of Taylor Street in Greystanes.
