As of reading the websites on my last post about the Skate Arena being demolished/rebuilt, I headed to the arena this weekend expecting it to be the last time I went there before the place was lost forever, although I had a hunch something had already been done. As I rock up to the main entrance with the hole in the boards, there was a council worker putting up new boards and drilling metal bars across the wall. Losing hope I went to the other entrance, with the bent metal mesh that could be crawled through. Fresh boards and metal bars had been put up on that aswell, although the corners of the boards had been ripped off as an attempt to take the board off completely and get through but had failed. I hope this isn't the last we see of the arena.

wow. Its fallen apart a lot since I have been there last. Just feeling priviledged to have been able to explore the place multiple times -- its stunning and would be so sad to see it go.

Still going! Being a newbie to exploring these hidden parts of Brisbane this was one of the first places I have visited just recently. The tree that has grown inside over the years houses a family of possums together with other wildlife. Pigeons (and rats...) call it their home as well.

It never ceases to amaze me how nature (and humans) continue to transform these spaces...

Please note I was a newbie to abandos when I wrote this, I have since been back. I have heard it was being turned into a cinema or something?
