Hello from the NSW South Coast!

I'm Max,

I have always admired the mystique and beauty of the places humanity has left behind, with the freedom that becoming an adult has given me, I intend to start doing a lot more urbex. I like to think I'm not too foolhardy though and am glad to stumble upon such a website where I am perhaps able to draw upon the experience and wisdom of those who have been doing this s*** since before I was born.

peace out!

Hi Max, how far south are you? I'm also on the south coast.

Near Wollongong so not too far south really. But everything is relative I guess.

Im near Wollongong too, about 10 minutes drive.

In Wollongong - all I’ve checked out is Hill 60 and the abandoned mines behind Farmborough but super keen for new things! Especially, say, the cokeworks

Is that actual mines or buildings? I've been to some spots up the mountain but it wasn't mines and it's a big trek on foot. No access in a car

Crazy that the first post I see on this site talks about Farmborough, which is where I live. The only abandoned place up here is either the small house in Mount Kembla or the massive tunnel on the railway line. It's sealed shut with a 10m+ high metal gate though, so not really worth visiting.

Are you referring to the old cottages near the graves of the miners? There's definitely stuff up Farmborough too.
