Depot Creek Weir |
| Registered Name |
Depot Creek Weir |
| Significance |
This site is significant for both its association with early exploration of the district and with the development of the railway network in the State's north. The springs which supply the weir were used as a watering place for several explorers, including E J Eyre, who named the place Depot Creek. The weir was built as part of the supply infrastructure to Port Augusta for the transcontinental railway between Port Augusta and Kalgoorlie from 1912 to 1917 (HSA, 2/2000).
