welcome to UEGA Ferret. Nice to meet you to
lots to explore in Brisbane if you look around

I just had a whole four day weekend jam packed with urban exploring
We explored drains, abando's, towers, rooftops & even some unclassifiable urbex

Welcome!

Any pics to share maybe?

Lucky you were able to visit the flour mill before it disappeared! I missed out on the opportunity

@aydun i will see if i can dig up pics of the mill as it was 2005 when i was there last...its a shame they pulled it down you missed out there was many levels of machinery wooden silos and a set of stairs and walkways that let to the main tower leading from the newer metal shed attached to the brick building

Welcome to the forums

Might have to hit you up and the other Brisbanites when I get to Brissy next. And what do you mean by all over Australia? Like the major capitals (sorry Tas, Hobart doesn't count), or just well-travelled in general?

Ferret · 29 Dec 2014, 9:01 pm

Most of the places i have been are in Melbourne, Brisbane and some parts of Sydney...mostly abandonment, tunnels and bunkers and lots of other stuff in between the capitals like mine shafts abandoned farms and towns near deserted mining towns Silos out rural areas as well as natural caves and canyons...when ever im in a new place im always keeping my eye open for possibility's and stuff

not been on the west side of Australia yet only been as far as Adelaide and only entered 2 abandoned buildings there in the CBD

Tasmania does matter. Hidden secrets everywhere.

For sure, as an urbex destination it does matter, but I wouldn't count it as a major capital city.

It is the capital of Tasmania.
Therefore it is a capital city of Australia.

Note: Major. I never said it wasn't a capital city.

Kto · 31 Dec 2014, 12:27 pm

I don't know if it even makes the top ten largest cities in Aus list....
