Well crap. I'll have to hit you up when I come to WA later in the year.
I'm not very familiar with a lot of drain locations in Melbourne and I know better than to ask for them. So if you're feeling daring wanna go into the city loop tunnels with me? I've been part way into them before but was forced to abort because there were a couple of metro maintenance people in there. If you want to go you kinda have to do it sometime in the early hours of the morning when the trains aren't running. Let me know if you're interested or if you have another place you'd like to suggest. Thanks.

That would be the worst thing you could do. Since some graffers got caught in there they've beefed up security to the point that you step 10m into any tunnel and you've got cops and security already on their way to meet you. The penalty is huge if you get caught too. Stick to drains.
I was in there November last year. Yeah they've got cameras on the tunnel entrances but pretty damn sure no one is monitoring them cos I was in there a while and got back out unnoticed.
But I only mentioned that because I was actually kinda hoping you'd suggest another place you might like someone to go with you. I've only done ANZAC drain and was kinda hoping that you might know where maze drain is.... I just didn't want to straight out ask you.

I know this discussion is finished, but as my previous comment was quoted I shall exercise a late right of reply-

15 years ago you could walk right around the city loop pretty easily, but in this post 9/11 world things have changed and I would strongly suggest that you save yourself the trouble that you will find yourself in... Second thing- it's not the best idea posting such intentions in a public forum- big brother is watching.......

I respect your enthusiasm but there's hundreds of smarter places to go for a mission, keep it SAFE and enjoy your Urbex! That's my 2 cents worth....

I must have been in Melb on the quiet week, haha, everyone has started talking again...

Fair enough, your advice is noted.

I'm in Geelong and keen to do something, although to be fair dunno how much interesting stuff your gonna find around Geelong. It's pretty dull. But if you have something in mind I'm down. Got in a bit earlier with my reply this time so should be able to make it if you do decide to do something. Just throw me some details on somewhere to meet/time etc and I'm good to go.

Nice, nice. Remember to share photos. :D (Unless it's super duper secret and undiscovered by anyone else.)

Got heaps of awesome photos im not allowed to share from an exploration Kontour10, Potplanty and myself did on Australia Day. Sometimes finding super cool locations sucks because you can't share how cool it was with anyone else :(
