Living at Walka

In this unit students discover who lived at Walka and the role they played in the establishment of the Water Works.

They learn about the lives of engineers Henry Walsh and Jack McLeod. Students will become familiar with the houses of Walka and their locations, as well as uncovering the reasons for their disappearance. After viewing photos of the Chief Engineer’s Residence students will have the opportunity to complete a sketch of the nineteenth century home.
