🌲 Tasmania’s Forgotten Engineering Marvel 💧
These ancient wooden stave pipes have been quietly carrying water for over a century through Tasmania’s rugged wilderness.
Built in the early days of hydro electricity, massive timber pipes — held together by steel bands — snaked across the landscape to feed power stations like Lake Margaret. Made from tough Oregon pine and local timbers, they proved surprisingly durable in one of the harshest environments on Earth.
A century later… still holds.
Nature and engineering, working together. What an incredible piece of history!
