Drain report

1. Entrance to Holy Foot. This is located in a former creek in the northern suburbs. Holy Foot is a large double barrel RCP type drain. This drain was originally a single RCP but in the early nineties the second RCP was added. The entrance is quite imposing, with the two large RCPs side by side, the left side newer RCP being slightly larger.

Normally the smaller right hand drain has less water flowing in it than the left. Remember entry to drains is NOT legal in UA City!

2. Side tunnel. The right hand tunnel contains a number of small side tunnels, unfortunately none between the two tunnels. There is however a short side tunnel about half way up which has a sizeable gutterbox at the end of it. The gutterbox is in fact two connected, somewhat similar to the one in Clan-Tomb. I'm not really sure where it exits, as I did not pop the manhole. Watch out for the plant roots forming a dam in to bottom of the drain.

3. Northern end. The northern end of Holy Foot is located on the northern side of Lower Plenty Road across the road from the petrol station. The entrance is in a huge grille room which is almost always locked. The grille room has been built to prevent tree branches from the Rosanna Parklands from entering and blocking the drain. You can see the parklands clearly as the thick forest north of the grille room.

As the drain runs directly under a petrol station, petrol fumes are near the grille room.

This was when the drain was built.

Things to see:

Difficulty: - Getting in.

This is quite a small drain, both in length and height but it has it's charm.

5. Entrance. The entrance to Fish and Chip is located in a most curious kind of ampitheatre on a small branch of Salt Creek. Follow the small side creek upstream towards Rosanna Road about 20 meters and you will see the bluestone ampitheatre. This is quite a picturesque little spot, all that bluestone and that strange little bluestone bridge across the small drain. The drain it's self is not impressive, just a 1.2 meter RCP with a bit of a climb (about 1.2 meters boost) to it's entrance. But check out all that Ivy.

6. Falls. The drain requires a bit of Stoop to walk along but only a short way in you will come to a small room containing a split. The left side tunnel curves off to the south west. The right hand tunnel runs about ten meters to a waterfall and grate. The grate is located right in the Warringal Shopping Center. The falls are only about 2 meters high and easily navigable. Above the falls the tunnel continues west but there's nothing to see beyond them.

Do NOT enter drains. Read this warning!
