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.

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.

Hmm. IIRC one of the locked tabs was bent/dented back a bit. I might go back and have another look and see if I can see those little cups.
