Dunlop no more?
Tonka and I went back to Dunlop over the weekend, there's an auction sign out the front for the 30th of the month, the fences have all been boarded up and most of the xmas stuff is gone (or burnt).
It might finally be going...
You can't walk along a barbed wire fence with a foot in each paddock.

last time I went it was exceedingly difficult to get in. They patched the fence up ages ago but this time they had made large bolted doors at all the entry points to the Mage storage facilities. This was mainly due to cars that were now being stored there.
However, Javed and Cam tell me now it has become an even more active construction site with people regularly frequenting the areas as well as heightened security measures. Javed gets into all sorts of places and I can honestly say there's a no go on this one :/ Sydney's most famous warehouse shall be renovated, torn down...idk. But it's sad to see the old thing go.
Javed and Cam went only about a couple days ago, during the week but at later hours.

Still plenty of used syringes and spray cans though, if that's what you're into.
That place was becoming a liability anyway - i found it a bit boring to be honest. The most fun you could have was going through all the old invoices while trying to avoid falling through the floor or stepping on a syringe. At the end of the day it's just a big flat factory covered in graffiti.
The roof was pretty cool though, but there's better.
When we first explored it way back in 2001 it still contained the machinery used to make tennis and squash balls, presses, kilns, hube blowers, etc. All of that got stolen/salvaged, they even took the door fittings and windows!-ham wrote:The most fun you could have was going through all the old invoices while trying to avoid falling through the floor or stepping on a syringe.

The lab above the old retail store was the nost interesting, was decked out like a high-school science room, with Bunsen burners, ancient scales and other analytical equipment, petri dishes and test tubes and sample jars, it had the lot till the local trash discovered it where after that it was all soon broken or stolen.
I'll try dig up some old pix.

Please. That sounds incredible.
I second that request! Only ever saw it as a dump. Would love to see what it used to be like.-ham wrote:blakjak wrote: The lab above the old retail store was the nost interesting, was decked out like a high-school science room, with Bunsen burners, ancient scales and other analytical equipment, petri dishes and test tubes and sample jars, it had the lot till the local trash discovered it where after that it was all soon broken or stolen.

Always carry a tripod. They're useful for smacking down junkies & scrappers.

Seriously though, your ankle needs rest, more you use it the longer it will take to heal.

I thought Dunlop was knocked down ages ago? I think I'm the only person here (NSW) who hasn't been to Dunlop.
It was still up a couple of months ago.Midget wrote:I thought Dunlop was knocked down ages ago?
