Together they total 2.15 so they are both short. >Tank Stream News Clip #1< >Tank Stream News Clip #2< FacialBook is killing online forums. douggie  Location: Sherman Oaks, USA; Sydney, Australia; Paris, France Gender: Male  |  |  Re: Australia's Oldest Drain - Tank Stream <Reply # 1 on 9/17/2011 10:52 AM >   I think it's safe enough to say it's the oldest drain, I mean it makes sense seeing as the city grew and it was running right in the middle. Busby's bore came about in the 1820s. Any idea if there is still any way to access it? Dare I say Sydney water? There's a publication that was put out in the 80's from Sydney water that talks about it. doug. hatsumi   |  |  Re: Australia's Oldest Drain - Tank Stream <Reply # 2 on 9/18/2011 11:35 AM >   http://www.hht.net.../tankstream_ballot drainasaurus maximus Phelonius  Location: Sydney, Australia Gender: Male  |  |  Re: Australia's Oldest Drain - Tank Stream <Reply # 3 on 9/18/2011 11:55 AM >   Posted by hatsumi http://www.hht.net.../tankstream_ballot Thanks for that.
