Also saw Caveclan, Mongo and a panic! tagged in there(Famous for draining in Canberra). Id advise you check the drain out if you ever come near Canberra.

How awesome, I love that grille room. Looks like you had fun =)
I'll let you know when I'm down next and if you're free we'll go for a wander

Not one of - THE best.

It looks like (judging by your photos) that you didn't go very far?

If so you should go on! It gets gooderer!

Which upstream grill, there are a few.
-Major one that leads to the temple
-One up the other way that leads to the waterfall or substation
-Small ones in single pipes.
i didnt go to the substation though, could it be up there?

My first time doing that drain we exited up the top grill just as the sun was going down, amazing view from up there, and great end to the day.

I learned not to trust Mira and Danman when they say they will go first, throwing tennis balls down onto us as we walked up that long slide

You mean that steep pipe?? It would have been like that show 'wipeout', having to dodge the balls. I tried going down on a scooter, that didnt work. So next time im clearing out that section down till the temple then going down sitting on a skateboard, which would be fun fun fun.

Did you go and see the waterfall or the substation grill?

Nah we didn't explore too much, just from the stoopy entrance, walked all along and then up the steep section.

This was on a 4 day Melb, Canberra, Syd, Melb trip fitting as much in as possible. Also getting lost in all your 1 way streets took more of our time than draining its self

Another fun idea would be to get a fire hose and put it down from the top, a board to sit on and you have one insane water slide. Make sure to have some bubble bath down at the bottom so you can't see all the pillars to crash into
