This pipeline appears to be constructed of wood staves, bound with steel wire. Wooden pipes enjoyed considerable popularity with the government around 1913 because of their cost-effectiveness and the cleanliness of the water carried. They were used for irrigation and carrying water relatively short distances to ad from reservoirs. The government encouraged  the Australian Wood Pipeline to build a factory in Port Adelaide. It could  produce 1000 feet of pipes up to 30 inches in diameter in a day. (Chronicle, 26 July 1913, p46). The location is unknown.</div>
