(c)hobartdaily.com - An unusual structure in the Hobart Rivulet, South Hobart

I am not sure exactly the purpose of this structure in the Hobart Rivulet in South Hobart. I thought perhaps it might be something to do with flood control but if that is the case and they dropped something in to make a temporary dam then it would just flood the lower levels of the Nursing home to the left of the picture. Its a mystery!

    2. Is it art? Nothing better than a good mystery, is there?

    3. DV – i just wish they would put up a sign saying it was art. Or a mystery – put me out of my curious sufferings!

    4. It’s there to catch branches and other large pieces of flotsam that may wash down the rivulet in times of high flow.

    Cheers
