Title
Millbrook Reservoir Construction
Description

The Millbrook Reservoir was constructed between January 1914 and 1918 and when completed doubled Adelaide's water storage. The reservoir controlled the flows of the upper reaches of the River Torrens between Gumeracha and Kersbrook. Central to the construction were a conduit 770 feet in length to a supply weir and then a mile long inlet tunnel to the reservoir drilled through solid rock by workmen and machines. The project was completed in July 1918.

The image appears to show a group of men and boys associated with the construction, as engineers, inspectors, and labourers. There are two boys, perhaps one an office boy and the other a boy with his father.
