Found basically in the middle of bushland in suburban Brisbane. To get here requires walking through overrun dirt paths that pretty clearly haven’t been visited in a long while.

    My wild ass guess would be that it’s a gauge for measuring water levels, with the upper opening part being a scale to read a marker that moves up and down the pole.

    Does it line up with anything on this map of Brisbane water/sewer infrastructure? That map seems likely to give you at least an idea of what system it’s associated with, and might even give more of a clue about the purpose of this specific point.

      Oh that’s excellent. Yes, it’s pretty much smack-bang on a “sewer gravity main trunk” from that map.

      Interesting that it’d be labelled BCC on QUU infrastructure.
