ABANDONED BUILDINGS IN MELBOURNE!

AHennell · 10 Jan 2014, 7:46 pm

Hello!

I'm Adam, a young thrill seeking teenager wanting to know some abandoned places to go to.
I've been to La Rundel 2 times now and even though there is nothing inside but beer bottles and broken glass, it was a thrill, especially at night.

I've been looking all around the internet and looking through forums but I can't find anything. I have read about some places but have not seen any information on the location or if it is even still there and not demolished. I can travel pretty much travel anywhere around Melbourne but must have a train/tram or bus route to it. (PLEASE PROVIDE ADDRESS)

Please no criticism or hate!

Thanks in advance!

I heard from a friend that there was a place near Melbourne that was pretty cool. It's near the CBD. If you have a bit of a look you should definitely find it!

Get out and explore/ find places yourself.
Go to industrial parks, walk around. Look out for- for sale/lease signs. It's not that hard and it's way more satisfying finding something yourself rather than being told of a location.
Go to flickr and search melbourne urbex, do some detective work. Asking for an address on a forum as your first post is just embarrassing.
Good Luck.

If you don't want hate don't ask for locations in your first post. Find them yourself.

Best way is to go through the Aus urbex index and ask the members that posted via PM. You can check where members are located via the profile. So you don't make the mistake of asking someone a location when they are not in your state.

This forum is really only for organising meetups with other members or posting general local news that is in the public domain.

Happy hunting!

Its pretty easy to search for stuff on google, post some pics, become known around here and share places to visit when you get to know some chaps.
I doubt people will share anything other than obvious places due to the simple fact they get trashed in the matter of weeks when word gets out about them.

Thanks for the tips everyone! I have already done hours of research before I posted it, Ive done A LOT of exploring around Melbourne for places like this. Thanks again for the tips.
And asking for addresses for your first post is not embarrassing. It just shows my eagerness to find locations of this. I have searched A LOT and have been looking around for years.
Thanks again.
Adam

I didn't say it as embarrassing, no one knows who you are and the least you could do is share some pictures of places you've been before asking about locations.

Think old mate was referring to my post.

A few people have suggested good ways to find locations. That is how it should be done if you want to really explore and "find" locations.

i wish i checked this forum yesterday for a response, I went there yesterday on bike in 40 degree weather, to my disappointment the 25km bike-ride was a waste of time, all thats left is the foundations.
There were some good drains in the area so it wasn't a total failure
