Best drain in Sydney

Hey guys
Just wondering what the best drain in sydney is. Normally i do urbexing by myself so I want to get my mates involved in urbexing there not keen on cranes but have agreed to do one drain and see if they like it. I was thinking either swoo or fortress. Tell me any drain and i will find it, i know people.

Oh and BTW i think i may have discovered a drain that is connected in my mates backyard.

Ohhhh! Is it big?
Pics ir it didn't happen :D

Also, the "best drain" is subjective, and you'll just end up with individual's personal faves!
Eternity is my personal fave :) Also, nice for beginners.

Eternity is a good one for beginners, completely in agreement with Nuggs. Historically the Fortress is considered Sydney's best drain (even the tag "Sydney's best drain" is written near mini cathedral in the Fortress), but once again it's completely subjective.

Swoo is a favourite, Eternity is definitely up there...mmm it's a difficult choice

Gobbledox is a very good drain. Massive, with several side-branches and places to climb. There's a mis-aligned RCP section which is always flooded. Walk from the upstream end to create huge bow waves that crash down over the edge. Always fun when someone is standing underneath. And then there's the overflow chamber side-quest for those who brave the thick multi-coloured mud and navigate the GPT and pipe.

Sydney has their own Best Drain award each year, but this list is from the Clannies and shows how popular Fortress is on a national scale.

I'd also chuck Herc's Pillars into the ring (once you get to it).
