(Viewed 455 times) bambam   |  a certain creek that dissapears undergorund near home in melbourne....worth checking out? < on 3/9/2007 6:57 AM >   Theres a creek that after several km's above ground disappears below ground into a large rectangular drain which runs underneath a bike path for a few blocks near where i live in inner sth east melb and i was wondering whether its worth checking out? After i hate to say it......nearly 17 years since my last drain expo with my best mate in melbourne's eastern suburbs the bug has risen again to bite me hard so we are off to our first 'officail' expo next weekend with people in the know. Apart from that 'official' expo I'm thinking of checking this particular drain out to see what it might hold ;) We are going to check it out in the next week or two but i figured its worth asking if anyone has checked it out before and knows if it actually develops into anything interesting? The creek runs through a the middle of a couple of schools then a golf course then under a hwy before disappearing underground so i'm hoping thats enough info for someone who knows it to get back to me? cheers B entity119   |  Re: a certain creek that dissapears undergorund near home in melbourne....worth checking out? <Reply # 1 on 3/14/2007 1:07 PM >   if you're talking about it disappearing under the Monash, then hell yes, it's well worth your time. haikyo  Location: Melbourne, Australia Gender: Female  |  Re: a certain creek that dissapears undergorund near home in melbourne....worth checking out? <Reply # 2 on 3/15/2007 12:24 PM >   I was thinking of one near Deakin uni...?

Without giving too much away it's a very interesting drain.
