Discover the smelly side of Melbourne's history.

Hear some stinky stories from the straining well, explore the magnificent engine room and discover a wartime air-raid shelter as you marvel at the engineering feat that helped overcome the stench of 19th century Melbourne.

Meet your tour guide at the bottom of the ramp in the Pumping Station.
