It is a wooden pipe with a diameter of at least 3 feet / 900mm.
The steel bands are there to hold the pipe together.

Here's the pic.


Edit - Here's the other pic...


to show just how leaky that pipe was...

If you think it should be added as a pic instead of a url, let me know and I will fix. Enjoy!
Edit - 2nd pic added here instead of as a url.

Adam, that's a classic shot. I took a look at the other picture as well.
My recommendation: post it. It's amazing. No wonder the dams are so low.

Nice shots Adam - send them via email to ACR on Channel 9 they love this kind of stuff

Chris,

I think these are in Tassie; I'm not so sure that ACA would be able to use them; there's no water shortage in that part of the world.

Gary, in Tas we are at a 20 year low in water storage and the Hydro are talking about power restrictions. Just about all our power is hydro based.

There definately is a water shortage down this way!!!
