Busby's Bore fountain

Unique IDPC-000024DescriptionThe Busby’s Bore Fountain commemorates the Busby Bore, a tunnel built to bring water from the Lachlan Swamp (now Centennial Park) to Hyde Park. John Busby, a mineral surveyor and civil engineer, identified the Lachlan Swamp as a potential source of water after completing his survey in 1825.

The fountain was installed in 1962 in the northwest corner of Hyde Park.

The artist was architect John Byrom who won a public competition to design the memorial, conducted by the Sydney Fountains Committee of the City of Sydney.External linksBusby's Bore fountain
