-	When the Hobart area was first settled, the people needed water, so reservoirs were constructed in the 1860s to capture the flow of creeks coming off Mount Wellington. A network of stone and timber troughs and channels were constructed and the flow of water arrived at the Receiving House, where you can see an informative display, explaining the history of this historic and important site. The habitat is dry sclerophyll eucalypt forest with wetter gullies.	+	When the [[Hobart]] area was first settled, the people needed water, so reservoirs were constructed in the 1860s to capture the flow of creeks coming off Mount Wellington.
