I've wanted to do AD for a while but every time I attempted it, it was always quite full of water. Since I don't live in Adelaide, I can't just come back in another week to check if it isn't full. I had this problem since July 2024 and so I wasn't very hopeful for this time. I ended up being wrong about my expectations and this time it had almost no water inside.

3. The arch - Before Darkie was built, it was a creek that ran under the road. The arch sections inside are the bridges that the roads had to go over the creek.

3. After coming out of the bridge, the tunnel turns into a much thinner and taller tunnel.

4. Soon after this, the drain goes under another bridge.

I decided to keep going after AD ended and go on through to the extensions.

6. Skipping forward a while you exit Darkie and come up to the Adelaide Darkie Extensions

7. You come out of the tunnels and into a park

8. After about 100m, the drain goes back to winding around residential areas
