Archive (Sub-series) - Subject File, Dight's Falls, 1958
Various partiesReference, Research, InformationSecondary Values (KHS Imposed Order)Dight’s Falls in Studley Park is an artificial weir built on a natural rock bar across the Yarra. The weir was built in the 1840s to provide water to the ‘Ceres’ flour-mill, one of the first in Victoria. The falls were later to become known as Dight’s Falls after the owners of the mill. Later, a pumping station was built on the Kew side of the river, which pumped water uphill to a reservoir in Walmer Street that provided water to the Melbourne Botanical Gardens and to Albert Park Lake. The area around Dight’s Falls was and is frequently used for recreational activities. Subject file containing sundry newspaper articles/clippings on the Mill. Also a photocopy of a brief article on Dights Mill and Falls by Jan Gross.
