	Here are a couple of news clips form more than ten years a go about one of Australia’s oldest (if not the oldest) drains – The Tank Stream. 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.

	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.

	you only get about 30mins or so on the tour, some of that time is a 'safety' induction, but you can take camera and tripod and although you only get to see a small part of it it's still nice to do. drainasaurus maximus
