Lake Caroline Drain

Date: 12th of Decmember 2024

Entrance (Submerged): 2.1m RCP Materials: Concrete Shapes: Round

It was a stinking hot day one december aftertoon and I was in the mood for some drains. I meet up with a friend and we decided to check some shit drains out in melb. I had seen this one on a council map and noticed it wasnt in the cave clan's drain guide, so I had to check it out and see if it was worth it or not. I was suprised at how not shit this drain turned out to be.

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Its a pretty alright drain to be fair. It's got some cool grille rooms and some strange features. The inflow is almost completely submerged so we had to get in through a gutterbox. As far as drains go this one didnt have that much graffiti in it.

There is a small metal trash collector 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. 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.
