Two concealed tanks can be found along the track to Crowther Trig. It is unclear whether they were supplied by the Skerretts Creek Water Catchment, which had its own tanks, or connected to the Wellington City Council water supply.
The most likely explanation at this stage is that they formed part of the local catchment system, storing water for firefighting and other emergency use. Below these tanks lies a property with an unusual swimming pool, which may have originally formed part of this emergency system.
While not entirely concealed, these two water tanks are easy to overlook when walking the track. To find them, one must venture slightly off the main path into the bush. They are located near an old gate that once restricted access to the track.
