Hey guys, newbie from melbourne. Mainly interested in drains, but have done some abandos. Looking for people to explore with

Also studying photography, maybe looking to do some stuff with that? If that's not your thing then I'm happy to leave that at home.
Looking forward to meeting some of you

ASL?
lol jk, but seriously.... answer it

Welcome! I'm pretty into the drain side of urbex myself, got a Nikon D3200.
What have you explored previously and do you have any photos to share with us?
Cheers, Echo.

Oh s***! Haha forgot about that
19, Male, very inner western suburbs (I think?).
Done a few abandos, notable ones would be Larundel and Bradmill. Been really interested in drains, have a few locations but haven't properly done one. Started Mini 10th the other night but forgot to pack extra batteries.

The 3200 is such a good value camera! Because I'm studying I've got a D810
Thanks, SavvyK.

Upload them to somewhere like imgur and then get the BBcode and paste it into a forum post. Although I think we've all seen Bradmill 101 times

so I'm interested to see if your pictures focus on anything in particular or just the mainstream stuff.

Yeah haha, I recently moved and it's the closest thing to me. I really want to do drains though.
I just put my photos on imgur, here's the link

(there's a fair few photos so decided to put the link to the album rather than the original images)

Hey there!

What drains have you done so far?

There are a whole bunch of goodies in the inner west.

SavvyK · 12 Feb 2016, 9:12 pm

Only started to attempt mini 10th!
I've got locations for a few ones that seem pretty good but haven't had the time to go. Hopefully hit up dwellers and mini 10th this week. Are meetups generally a thing here or nah?
Thanks heaps, SavvyK

Not particularly though I have been hosting a few things lately. Keep your eye on Melb's Random Meetup Thread.

Will do! Also, was that the right way to post photos or is there a better way/more appropriate way to post them somewhere else on the forum? Thanks dude.
Cheers, SavvyK.

Right enough, though people on UEGA are lazy and cant be bothered following a link half the time.

SavvyK · 12 Feb 2016, 10:47 pm

Cheers man, I'll do the bb code in the future and put my photos directly on my post. Where they same-old bradmill or alright?

You can post photos with imgur's "bbcode" or any other image hosting site or upload to the gallery here, and post them in the aus ue forum here.
Welcome, btw!
