Anyone have any abandoned buildings, industrial sites or any places of interest in Victoria. Preferably close to melbourne CBD, or western suburbs.

Thanks for the help

@qwertyuip456 383 La Trobe St is the Federal Police. Please don't urbex there :-o

I am newish to urbex, however I am a longtime geocacher which certainly has assisted in knowing what is abandoned and discovering new places to explore.

Look out for places that look neglected, run-down, broken windows, garden overgrown, or things that maybe look like they haven't moved in months. Soon enough you will get a knack for it!

@Vicinity
I fail to see how asking for access/location to a site is poor form.
I joined the page because I want to share the sites that i have and likewise would expect that other fellow UEGA members would be motivated to do the same.
Poor form? I think that would be joining a group like this and not sharing with each other.
Yes we need to be careful as authorities don't even know where some of the best sites are and this is why I also asked for a return message or PM with info on the Wormhole.

Thanks for your comment #Vicinity but I think it is poor form to reply with "Look Harder".
Not very constructive and not in the spirit of fellow UEGA members.

Anyone know of info on the Wormhole please pm me.

Thanks.

dont make/take it personally (probably too late) twodogs, its always a race to see who gets to respond to a new members request for locations first, with an angsty cut&paste. some have some tact, some don't.
The general feel of most of them is:
* Get out there and have some fun finding cool stuff
* Get out there with other members, some aren't half bad and have some fun

this wormhole sounds exciting though that's for sure

Not to be mean but I read your PM, looked at your profile and thought no more of it.
Google is your best friend.
The Wormhole is the old Melbourne Main Outfall Sewer (hint hint look it up)
Good luck

Grill room was still easy access when I last went, though that would've been a good few months back now. Having said that though that bar has been bent for over a decade so I can't see why they'd fix it now. In my personal opinion once you see the grill room, the flap and the various aqueducts you're pretty much done. The tunnel itself is not the most interesting, not to mention rather dusty (and I'm pretty sure its not regular dust, try dried up and finely ground sewerage instead from the days when it was still in use).

The dust on the floor of that is made from the same stuff as the "mud" on the floor of the Deathstar. If you don't think about it too much it's managable.

Yes it is! Compleatly within the spirit!

But in all seriousness, yes, we have an unwritten rule that you need to kind of prove yourself first by sharing about your explores and yourself and when we get to know an trust you we share back. That's how sharing works.

This isn't Dial a Drain location.

Can this please be the first thing that every user sees before they post a new thread asking for locations?

It's not offensive or trolling, but also tells them not to ask.

Yeah, I second this. It is a bit like when you go on to a web site that is for social interaction and it has a warning "This isn't a dating site."
