Joseph Brady, civil engineer, was born on 18 August 1828, near Enniskillen, Ireland. In 1850 he migrated to Sydney, N.S.W. where he became a draftsman with the Sydney Railway Company. In January 1851, Brady resigned this position and moved to Melbourne, Victoria where under the city surveyor, James Blackburn, he carried out surveys for the Yan Yean water scheme. Having completed this project, he returned to Sydney, where, on 24 July 1851, he applied successfully for the position of assistant engineer with the Sydney Railway Company. Brady held this position until his resignation in 1857, when he returned to Victoria
