Well, recently an old favourite drain of ours, Trashy, has been inexplicably paid a great deal of attention by the city. Over the last month or so they've been doing construction work on its upstream entrance, knocking down about half of the grand entrance chamber and pulling it out into a box culvert with a manhole on a rectangular chamber, ready to be barred all to hell. Bastards. At any rate, the construction going on around Trashy's mouth and the stream up from it led Asher, Grebin, Filter Boy and myself to explore upstream from Trashy in search of more construction badness. One of the first things we came across was a twin set of box culverts, which we had never been able to enter before on account of their watertable being too high, but now there was hardly any water flowing at all. We decided (as we tend to) to enter the drains and see what was to be seen.
The first tunnel we entered ran about a hundred feet and then came to a literal dead end -- the first of its kind we'd seen. As such it has become known as the Dead End Drain, in an unusual fit of intuitivity. We exited and explored the next pipe, which ran much further and changed its form about halfway through into an older culvert with a bit of graffiti on the walls and plenty of jagged nails sticking out every few feet. This was the last thing we found on that night, until Asher and I returned with Dain Bramaged during the day and noticed another drain just upstream of this one.
This drain proved to be a rather wet box culvert with some nifty views through the flood boxes but not a whole lot else. After its upstream end, another set of twin drains began, this one a pair of very small, old RCP's. They didn't run far before emptying back out into the stream, and all the drains we found from that point on were too small to be of any real worth.

Now, quickly, check out the Trashy II Photo Gallery. There's ice, and a rock, and stuff.
I'm moving to Melbourne. :/
