That photo of a drain
Any ida which drain it was in and where? I assume it is gone now? Had I encountered such things in a drain I would have turned up and concreted them in place myself.
I'm hell keen for this. A nice bench to take a break on would rule too.Dynamite wrote:But there's still plenty of lamps and benches available in the council yard above, if you feel the urge to drag them down there, along with many other bits and pieces. We should fix one of those rubbish bins down there, wouldn't that be a nice gesture by the UE community
Maybe the next council cleanup (of household items and general large rubbish), I'll find a few sofas and a nice drain to put them in.
Though I'm a bit worried about the stuff being washed away and clogging the drain further down... might have to find a drain that's dry most of the time. Or just a wooden bench bolted to the floor.

That sounds utterly epic.Nick wrote:There's a drain south of Melbourne that has a rock climbing wall in it, it goes up and over. Quite good fun, although looks a bit weird when you're seen exiting a drain with shorts, singlet, climbing harness, chalk bag, climbing shoes and rope...
please do, because I'm pretty sure that they were actually removing the gatesNick wrote:Nah, it's called M10 mini or something, have to look it up, it's near Chadstone shopping center, although I think Melb Water locked it up quite recently, last time I drove past there were vast numbers of workmen putting in giant gates. I'll snap some shots next time I'm in the area.

Cracking up by cohort_33, on Flickr
Scarecrow of the Sydney branch of the Cave Clan.
Twin culverts, of different shapes.
In this pic, the left one could be the shape of the one in no+pros' pic.
A few more pics in here.
Have one inside the (right) culvert there, which is a strange shape again. Will have to check my archives, see if I have pics of the (left) one.
Does it have another name?

This is a lil' further up. Nothing for scale but it's pretty low.
I think they installed the tunnels sideways.

Does catfish drain have any non-concrete bits?

Not that I know of. I don't think the area would be old enough to incorporate brick or stone.No+Pro wrote:Does catfish drain have any non-concrete bits?
Mind you it seems to go a long way, and I've only done the first couple hundred metres.
Have not done E'sotica. Looks interesting, just never seem to pass through that area!No+Pro wrote:Dont mind me, thats it, problem solvered. Anyone in here been in there?
Might head over there when this weather clears up
