Hey All,

Just a quick 1 to say gday, I''ve been interested in checking out some drains and abandonments for a little while now and spent plenty of time on google maps etc. I've got some good ideas for some what seem to be newbie friendly locations, and just seeing if anyone's keen to have an explore.

Cheers

Welcome to the forums mate. The Brissy locals are pretty friendly, if you post in the meetup thread in the QLD section, I'm sure some people would be down for an explore. From the sounds of it, you haven't done any exploration before, correct?

You should read approach.txt before you try your first drain. You can find a copy here: http://sleepycity.net/approach-to-draining
Just remember not to go in drains if it has been raining/if there's any reasonable prospect of rain, and try to avoid solo exploring until you get a bit more experienced (or maybe forever, depending on who you ask). That document details everything from drain safety to scouting techniques.

Best of luck!

Welcome to the forums! Don't solo in drains if you're afraid of the dark. :P
