Best way to get that happening is to pick a day/time, decide what/where (but only post general thoughts), and get a crew together.

Any of you folks out around the south west of Sydney?
I'm looking for an exploration partner.
I prefer abandos over drains, and know of a few sites.
A plus if your into photography, as I rely solely on my phone and often get to caught up looking around to bother with pictures.

How far south west?

daeman · 12 Feb 2015, 6:18 am

Mostly Campbelltown and Liverpool areas. Possibly go as far as the southern highlands and in as far as bankstown and parramatta.

Aydun · 13 Feb 2015, 1:21 pm

Gonna be having a look around Newtown, if anyone wants to join.

Uhh, tomorrow? What time? There might be a lot of valentine's day pedestrian traffic.

Aydun · 13 Feb 2015, 1:34 pm

Now! Well I'm actually on a train now, so in about an hour.

Rantallion · 13 Feb 2015, 2:42 pm

Bummm I have plans for tonight. I hope you see the old bloke on the mobility scooter blasting Elvis!

I'm from around that area.

Nice one f1ex, done much exploring around here ?
I scoped out a site around casula the other day that I want to go back and look thru. There's also a couple in Campbelltown I really want to try and get into.
Drop me a pm If you want to exchange notes and possibly hit a few of these places up with me

sini · 14 Feb 2015, 2:43 pm

I'm generally up for a drive. If you organise somthing with a few people and are keen on a couple of hours hit me up.

Cheers, sini

Hey sini, might be keen on a half way meet at some stage, there's something around Mooney Mooney and Brooklyn I want to check out.

Is this structure visible from the mooney mooney bridge?
Wondering if its the same thing i am thinking of.

daeman · 15 Feb 2015, 1:31 pm

Pretty sure it is. And given its history it could be a cool explore. I believe there's a redevelopment proposal for it so i guess it will start seeing work some time soon?

danny_ · 15 Feb 2015, 1:37 pm

It has been closed for 5 years from memory and they just boarded it up. I think there is power still running to the site.
I think it would be a cool place to visit, I am up for it when ever it happens.

daeman · 15 Feb 2015, 1:45 pm

Sounds like you know the site better than I do. A small group could be the way to go. I wonder if it gets any sinister vibes given some of its history

Scarecrow · 15 Feb 2015, 1:57 pm

If the access is over a bridge I believe security now stands at the entry. Some people I know went to try and were told to leave. Also, all the buildings are well-secured.

sini · 15 Feb 2015, 2:02 pm

yea that sounds good

.

also theres another recent abandoned power station on the coast I want to check out as well.

daeman · 15 Feb 2015, 2:06 pm

Cheers for the heads up scarecrow. I didn't think it'd be an easy one to access. But where there's a will there's a way.

An abandoned powerplant sounds very interesting sini

sini · 15 Feb 2015, 4:31 pm

security will prob be tight its still fairly recent so it may still have workers removing things but as far as I know its no longer operational. check out powerstations between newy and syd it wont be hard to find on google maps (and its not Wangi)

Scarecrow · 16 Feb 2015, 12:37 pm

Have a list of back-up stuff to do as well. I know the security at that power station you're talking about are pretty quick to respond in their little car.
