![]() Ah, it was bound to happen.
This glorious old powerstation has been abandoned for years, and has been quietly chilling by the river. Years ago we used to be able to hop in, run around making as much noise as we wanted- it's a huge place, and had heaps to explore. As time went on, security got tighter to the point that there were 3 trained guard dogs roaming the place. At the start of the year, it was made public that the place was getting destroyed to build tennis courts. We snuck in despite the dogs to have a look (and got chased out .. angry dogs) And now, it's finally begun. Pretty crazy, kinda sad. From 2002-- ![]() To the same place, tonight: ![]() ![]() ![]() Sigh. Hope you enjoy the snaps thought :D :D |

Hey quantum-x, here's something I came across recently... a 200+ hectare explosives depot which is now being nudged by suburban sprawl. In fact, the base has been abandoned and the land is now owned by a residential developer, although the portion that most of the ~15 buildings sit on has to be donated to Melbourne Water. I presume they'll be demolished eventually as they currently pose a safety hazard due to the asbestos used in the walls.
It's been off limits to the public for 60+ years and once MW takes possession it will stay off limits. These are the "Y" labs which are distantly visible from public parkland in the Greenvale Reservoir. Apart from that point you wouldn't know the base is there. Strange symbols to write on the walls of a warehouse which stores devices designed to explode and kill humans... There isn't really anything breathtaking like huge machinery, but if you hunt around you can find interesting things. One of the warehouse entry doors has written on it: <swastika logo> HIEL HITLER 12/2/42 I AM A GERMAN SPY AGENT NO 10015679 |

It's got some great 1960s industrial architecture!
I love the yellow brick.

I've spent over 12 hours in 3 visits there and I'm still not done. I've taken about 500 stills and 30 mins of video footage. I'll be returning at least one more time, perhaps two if I can make it. BTW, I actually do have permission to be there. ![]() Here's a pic of some retro electrics... I wonder what happened to the guy who drilled the asbestos sheet wall to install it. Note also the blast wall to the left. |

Another, to the right of this shot is the room w/ all the windows - the roof is done like a checkerboard. Really cool :D |

Access is a weird thing. Some things that SHOULD be locked up never are, and other things that aren't should be. I've done quite a bit of BW stuff - some locations they're really sensitive over, others they're not. In this situ, this building is also government owned- and commonwealth trespass is a criminal offence, not a tort like regular trespass. One of those things, I guess. We had the reflection a while ago, it's all a little bit weird - going to such extreme lengths / risks just to take photos - it's very harmless, but you'd never get away with it :D |

Its always a sad day when yet another urbex location is demo'd.
At least you got some good shots to document it. Looks like it was an awesome place. |

![]() ![]() Two out of the three times I was the only person on the base. It's quite hilly so it is very strange to feel completely alone (visually) but still be able to hear the occasional sound like a school bell or a truck's engine brake. I don't know exactly when MW take over but I know it's pretty soon, so I'm trying to get as much done as possible. I still have to do some 360 degree panoramas and some general wide landscapes but the weather has been absolutely shitty lately. Overcast skies are not cool |

![]() Personally, I actually prefer grey skies - it helps you to get a more even exposure - less contrast between highlight and shadow (ie, direct sunlight) ![]() |

You're all right - life does go on, but it's just sad when one of the places you used to be able to run around and relax in gets toppled over.

Nice pics homie, if I wasn't so slack I'd add some to your thread. Additional, the intro to the scooby doo movie was filmed inside the structure
