Today, and yesterday, I've been poking about the history of what was once the longest steam powered fresh water pipeline in the world

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldfields_Water_Supply_Scheme

I'm looking into rennovating a massive agricultural machine shed ~ two stories high in the middle built some 80+ years ago using sections of spur pipeline as central upright poles to hold up some beefy jarrah trusses.

The "verandah" wings flaring out from there were bulit from flimsier timber that's rotting and the iron sheet walls are starting to peel away.

The posts are of interest as they have old markings and water fittings, tee pieces, etc.

It's not far from one of the original steam powered pumping stations that moved water through the main line.
