Digital archive Newspaper clipping about the World Swimming Championships to be held in a temporary pool constructed inside the Rod Laver Arena. Preliminary troubles included leakage. After the Championships most of the water in the pool was to be piped to the lake in the Royal Botanic Gardens, and the rest to water distressed elms.
It was a time of severe drought and the lake in the Gardens had almost dried up. Recycling of water was, as it still is, of major importance.
