Any other WA members on here?
Bangers here, from south of river in Perth, been here about 1 1/2 years, surely i'm not the only one from WA on here?
I'm new to the forum, just seeing who's out there,
Cheers....

Havn't done the power station yet, not going in that place by myself, but it looks epic. There's another smaller power station I know of too, but not sure how to get in yet.
Have done the old Kwinana radar site, there's a nice little tower there.
Think I already mentioned Graylands in another post.
Not sure about Swanbourne tunnel, unless thats the one near Freo prison, but there's Swan View tunnel, been to this one, worth a look...
There's a few places around, just gotta know where to look...

Hi there,freoguy89 wrote:Hi mate. im from souh of the river in Perth as well. Been in freo power station by myself and its not that bad but not on the second story yet. I've just joined. maybe wana catch up n check out the power station? know of any other sites around Perth?
Welcome to UEGA!
I figured that sooner or later someone else from WA would join the forums, i'm north of the river now but close to the city. I guess I never went in the power station mainly due to concerns about squatters and junkies etc, i'm not 100% but it seemed to be possible to get to the lower roof not that long ago. You might have checked out some of the posts i'v put on here of some Perth locations, some are still explorable and at least one isn't. I know of a few more good ones around the place as well that I'v either been to, or want to visit soon. Some are pretty much abandoned and some require a bit of balls.
I'm open to the idea of catching up and checking some sites out some time soon, have a few places on the cards for the near future. Do you know anyone else who's into exploring in Perth? Also, do you know any good drains that are explorable?
If you want to go for an explore, send thru a PM and i'll get back to you...
Cheers from Bangers!

I envy some of the sites there in the UK, could spend months there exploring..
There's a few good sites around still in Perth, one in the industrial area you mentioned is pretty big, and due to be demolished next year, would like to visit at least once before the wreckers move in.. Havn't been out your way or down south for much of a look, sounds like there's a bit about, just gotta get out there,
Give me a yell if you're interested in going for an explore or looking for some locations, might be able to work something out...
Cheers!

Coming down the hill to look at some sites in the northern suburbs, found some photos on another blog, and know of them. Should be able to look at half a dozen sites.
I don't own a big camera and all the kit, but have a 12mp phone that has 25gb storage which so far has done me well, should have an update after this mission.

Same thing happens with CC, we get a member or 2 in Perth who are keen for a month or so then they dissappear. I guess WA ppl are too busy spending all that mining cashola.

There's been about half a dozen locals come and go on these forums, which to a degree has been interesting as a few half decent topside sites were mentioned, but nobody really hardcore seems to be active... I guess too that the sport is somewhat limited here location wise, yes and no though, 2 years ago was a different story, but a lot of disused/abandoned stuff has been demo'd or redeveloped, nobody seems to do drains here anymore (the few decent major ones anyways)
Driving several hours to days from Perth is awesome if you do your research, and it's worth the drive...
There's been a few bloggers that have posted stuff up from Perth, some quite interesting too, but not in recent years, a lot of the locations are now sealed or gone. i'm not sure where those people are at these days, have read news articles about people being busted climbing cranes and stuff too, I guess that the various local people and/or groups seemingly do their own thing by themselves...
Even an attempt to raise local CC members last year was fruitless...
Anyways, I guess being the only 'active' local adventurer that i'm aware of isn't all bad, still spewing I lost my pic's from my first crane climb here earlier in the year, only 90 odd metres, but right to the red light at the top of the jib......

On Mirrabooka Ave there's an old type complex shutting down. I went there last year when I was in Perth, but at the time it was still somewhat active. It's on the left side of the road when you're heading north, just before (or is it just after?) you pass Reid St/Rd. I'll get ya a Google Maps link tomorrow when I'm less drunk.

Drove past when I was there last. Looks like it will be awesome when its accessable.
Yeah man it's closed, and it was awesome....benderz wrote:Is the fire station closed yet?

Demo guys moved in a few weeks ago, it's disappearing fast now....

I want to see some WA drains
- Im more into industrial abandonments, but any eerie old abandonment is good for me!
I sent you a PM.
Ill see if i can get some of the other Perthies on this site.
Any suggestions or wanna meet up let me know
Im new to the forum but hoping to be an active member. Im originally from the UK and was a keen urbexer in my teens (without realizing it was such a thing).
Ive been in Perth for 10 years and have a young family now. Im just getting back into checking out some fascinating spots that are around. I have done a couple of places and am getting a bit of a list going of some others i would like to see. I recently checked out the Freo power station but im hoping to go back soon as I was by myself and time restricted.
So anyone active on here in WA would be great to swap stories good or bad
