Description

This is proberly the most well know drain underneath sydney. Everyone through out the cave clan thinks of this drain when someone mentions they are going to sydney to go exploring. From the up stream end it starts off as a normal concerte pipe thats about 6 foot high and as you follow it along it changes into a 6 foot square drain that keeps changing between rock blasted sections to concerte and back to rock again. All the way along to the sea where it comes out.

There is also one major section of this drain which i tried to get a photo of but my camera wasnt good enough to pick it up. It is called the Cathedral and it is a 6 story high shaft with 4 platforms on the side of it and it has ladders going up betwen the platforms. This shaft is great to see but way to dark for my little camera. So when i upgrade i will go back and take lots of good photos.

Oh the other main attraction of this place is the downstream exit. You walk along till you get to a slide which you walk down holding onto a rope. At the bottom of the slide you walk along and you come to a set of bars which you can squeeze through to exit. This exit is right on the beach. And you shouldnt attempt it at high tide cause the tunnel is half filled with water and massive waves are crashing into it and filling it even more.

Well the night that i was down there. It was a high tide and we decided to go down to the bars and hold on while the waves came in. Hehe a lot of fun seeing the waves were nice and big and we got totally soaked. But even though we were cold and wet. We were having a great time down there and also it was a full moon so we were looking over the bay with the full moon shineing down on us.
