Funny how i discovered Urbex/Draining
I own a dog adventure company and I'm always scouting new fun locations which other dog walkers don't know about. On Friday i was exploring Elgar park as i had heard it was big and had access to Koonung creek. I followed the creek hoping to find a cool little area i could take the doggies but found that at one point it disappeared. So i spent the rest of the evening trying to find where it went and realised it re-appeared from a drain pipe many kms away. This sparked my interest and i started to follow all the rivers and creeks on google maps, finding where they disappeared and re-emerged. It was so much fun and i wondered whether I may be able to take dogs down some very safe drains. So I ended up spending all of yesterday just researching everything i could on the internet. I now know how the storm water drainage system works in Melbourne, the greatest risks to our creeks water quality, I discovered urbex, found @underground_melbourne on instagram and tracked down a cave clan map of a massive number of drains across Melbourne! Turns out that original drain i had found had a name - "10th" and that there was a rich culture existing in Melbourne to do with drains.
I have since watched so many youtube videos, seen so many pictures and have just learnt so much! I now know that exploring these drains is illegal so wont be taking any of my doggies down any but am glad i have learnt so much and that this community exists so that i have been able to satisfy my interest to the point where I don't have to spend how ever many weekends to get all this information first hand.
You guys are awesome!
You're exactly the good vibes this site needs.
