  1. Fire hydrants are in the pavement there? That's unusual.

  2. Most of them are in the ground in Australia too but I think the plates are smaller than this.

    1. similar but not as big - a manhole has to be big enough for a man to get down - this is big enough only to allow access the hydrant below.
