Hows it going?

Im a US explorer from Colorado thats going to be traveling in AUS for a few weeks on business. Leave the States on the 15th and will be in Australia until the 28th.

Been exploring for 10+ years and have explored all over the U.S. Hoping to check something out while im in AUS.

Going to be in Sydney on the 17th and again on the evening of the 27th.

Will also be in Brisbane on the evening of the 22nd.

Will have 3 days up in Townsville, QLD as well.

Going to be in a few more places but will have to be working unfortunately.

Heres a couple pictures from the last year:

Welcome! Nice pics. Glad to have you on the forum.
When you arrive here, post and subscribe to the Sydney, or Brissy "Random meetup" threads.
Hopefully the weather is good for your stay!

Thanks for the welcome, I will definitely do that. Would like to meet up for at least a drink and swap some war stories

Sounds good. I might PM you later and show you around of what's left in Sydney.

Yep, you heard me. There are less abandonments in Sydney than there were say 2 years ago. Every one I find keep getting closed, demolished or locked down.

So there will probably be just drains and bunkers.

Love to go to the US to see those places. I heard that Detroit is bankrupt which I know isn't a good thing, but on the other hand there will be more places to explore.

Hey hey hey nothing wrong with bunkers

:p .

Welcome to the forums and im sure there is a few friendly peeps who will be more than happy to show you around.

Glad to see the forums are back up

Definitely nothing wrong with bunkers.

Might probably have to look outside of Sydney CBD unfortunately if you want some industrial stuff comparable to something like Detroit. I hear also Detroit now has issues with stray dogs which ain't good
