Venture one day was telling me he found some really cool drain in ballarat that looked like almost no one had been in, so we had to go check it out. We orginised an expo and Phantom and Con tagged along to check out this new drain we would later called Biosystem.
Not many drains are filled with eels, but this one most definitely is. There would have easily been 3 dozen or so eels in the wetter section of this drain. Some of them were absolutely massive too.
We found a few stranges items in this drain too. A brain mri scan, a socket set, and a few numberplates.
Luckily for us the water shallowed out as the drain turned into triple barrel RCP further down. Every hundred metres or so there would be a narrow junction room where we could hop between the pipes. There were a few manholes here but we didnt take any of them out.
We kept going upstream until we hit the end of the drain, a very scenic looking lake overflow room. So happy there was a manhole here because it would have sucked having to go all the way back through the outflow, this drain was about 2kms long.

On halloween night Venture and myself decided to pop some manholes around an area we thought there might be a secret hidden drain. We knew it was somewhere around here but had no clue where the outflow was.
We popped about 4 or 5 gutterboxes before getting lucky and finding one that pops into a 1.65m RCP pipe leading to a junction. We continue down and discover this drain with almost no graff in it. To be fair this drain didnt really have many cool features in it but I think it being so untouched and clean was a pretty good one.
All up this was a really cool explore. Judging by the graff on the walls, we might have been the first explorers to come in here in the past 30 years. Newest graff we saw was from 1985, there was even some old ass graff from the 70s down here.
