C Y O'Connor, is one of the interesting members of the West Australian history that we are coming across. He was the engineer and genius that was traumatised by the politicians of the day and the media, to the point that he committted suicide.
He was not only the main Engineer on the Golden Pipeline, but the engineer for the building of Fremantle Harbour.
This is the original pipe which was made of wood, used during the steel shortages during the war.
These are the remains of the above mentioned wooden pipes, with there wire binding still in evidence all along the pipeline, where it has been replaced.
This is the memorial at C Y O'Connor beach, south of Fremantle. This is supposedly the spot were C Y O'Connor rode his horse into the ocean and drowned himself. A great tragedy.
