thanks! I'll check it out when I canImGladImNotA wrote: ↑31 Jan 2024, 9:42 amSt Clem's Drain. Look south in St Clem's Reserve. It looks like it comes out into Koonung Creek west of the footbridge.
To the North is Tricky's / Hunt Street drain, but I think that only reaches as far as Cat Jump Park.
It will exit onto a river :-)pregnant possum wrote: ↑31 Jan 2024, 2:53 ami was around Donvale a while ago near Tunstall Square when I saw an old, random, rusty-looking grille on the side of the road. didn't look like anything special, but it's fun to sometimes look down them and see what I can see, and I saw what I think was a pretty sizable drain. I wanna make it clear I'm not asking for locations, just for someone to confirm or deny whether there is something worthwhile around there, so I know whether it's a good idea or not for me to keep looking. I've been searching for a while now on google maps for or a manhole or gutterbox or something that might lead into this potential drain. I go back around that area somewhat often, but for now I'm stumped.
I think I have a copy of the known.doc that I've used for a while. I've heard of the CC drainguide but don't really know anything about it.Alien wrote: ↑02 Feb 2024, 12:05 pmIt will exit onto a river :-)pregnant possum wrote: ↑31 Jan 2024, 2:53 ami was around Donvale a while ago near Tunstall Square when I saw an old, random, rusty-looking grille on the side of the road. didn't look like anything special, but it's fun to sometimes look down them and see what I can see, and I saw what I think was a pretty sizable drain.

There are a few drains on the "UnGood List" which is a semi-official Cave Clan sub-list of crappy drains that although explored don't have assigned names.
Occasionally something on the UnGood list makes the official list because of an interesting feature (gets bigger, a grille room, an interesting shape). If you were to explore it as either a new drain or a previously poorly rated drain that Gets Gooder, you would definitely have naming rights!
Obviously the CC Drainguide isn't the only one out there, (Known.Doc by Predator *RIP* and several personal lists are floating around) but after 38 years of being very constantly updated, the Drainguide is still considered the more permanent reference that will outlast the others. @Nippy108's Frog Locker was the most recent addition for a new drain. He's got some pics up here on UEGA.
