Wooden Pipeline
A sight not to be missed is the wooden pipeline which is reputed to be the biggest wooden pipeline in the Southern Hemisphere. (Actually there are two pipelines side by side)
The pipelines are 4.1m or almost 14ft in diameter and travel side by side for a kilometer and a quarter to the surge tanks before the power station.
They are made from T&G timber about 10”x4” Baltic Pine and have been continuously in service for over 50 years.
To find this go back to the main road at the power station. Turn right toward Hobart and go about 200m along the road. Turn right toward Wayatinah Power Station and travel about 7km until you come to the fork in the road. The right hand leg goes to Wayatinah Station and the left leg goes to the pipeline. Keep on this road ignoring all side roads until you get to the boom gate. Park at the side of the road and walk on the other side of the boom gate and around the corner is the pipeline winding its way down the hill to the power station.
Total distance from where you turn off the Lyall Highway is 8.1 kms.
Please see the camp manager for more detailed information.
