One day I was driving around ballarat with Venture after checking out some stuff and we noticed something that looked a drain hidden by the side of a road. We get out of the car and are quite suprised at this grilled off 1.8m RCP pipe leading into a creek. There was just enough bend in the grille for us to get in.

Entrance: 1.8m
Materials: Concrete
Shapes: Round

grilled off inflow

The drain turns from a 1.8m RCP to a low flat box pretty quickly and then if you go far enough it leads to a small room with some offshoots.

Continuing down the double barrel RCP it leads to a few grille rooms and then the outflow.

Down the offshoot it stays pretty low for a while before a few grille rooms and then eventually a gutterbox that can be easily popped. This drain isnt that interesting but worth checking out once.
