It was a stinking hot day one december aftertoon and I was in the mood for some drains. I met up with a mate and checked out this new drain.

Rating: ★★★☆☆

The outfall was submerged so we had to pop gutterboxes to get in. Thankfully this drain has heaps of them and it didnt take long to find a way in.

There is a small metal GPT part way through the drain at a section that has been dammed off. I'd imagine that this goes to one of the lake overflows, we would have checked but the water pooled up around it looked absolutely disgusting.

We headed all the way until we saw the water level rise towards the outflow and then decided to try and find a gutterbox to get out of. There was this real small side pipe went down that took us to a fairly open lake overflow. Sadly we couldnt exit here so we went back to the main pipe.

Luckily for us this drain has plenty and we popped up right next to the lake by a busy road. I'm in no rush to come back to this drain but I would happily if I was in the area and had some time to kill in a drain.
