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.

It's a flood gauge, it's a very simple gauge, they check it after a flood occurs.

    Interesting idea. What makes you say it's that rather than the sewer sampling station other comments suggested?

    How would a flood gauge even work here?

    I think it's just like a series of little cups inside, that gets submerged and filled, and then emptied and record the highest point.

    I had been told that it was a flood gauge, I think it was from a council officer in Natural Areas, and I know what a lot of Urban Utilities infrastructure looks like.
