Abstract: This paper briefly outlines the development of water hydraulic power systems and devices during the nineteenth century and then describes a range of extant system elements from Australia and New Zealand. The significance of this early motive power technology is underlined by the many end-use applications that evolved and further work in identifying, recording and where practicable, conserving extant remnants is advocated.
