‘I got close, and I saw a man down the hole.’

Mr Clinton says the man told him he’d followed his dog into the pipes after it disappeared up a drain off the nearby Bremer River.
‘He went through the tunnels, and he tried getting it back,’ Mr Clinton said.
‘I was actually amazed how he was able to fit, to be honest – very lucky not to get hit, could’ve caused a major accident right there.’
Mr Clinton pulled over and helped winch the man out of the hole, shocked to see him ‘practically naked’.
Footage has emerged of the man swimming through the nearby river towards the drainpipe where he managed to commando crawl through to the manhole where he was rescued.
