Thanks.
Wander often. Wonder always.
I am drawn to this because I kind of don't fit in. I would not say I hate people, they just give me the shits. I'm fed up with so called normal people who think working to pay off a home loan is a thing. I don't give a s*** about fancy Italian or German cars or cocktail parties or 52 inch idiot boxes. Going in a drain is easier for me to cope with than society. As long as I use a bit of my brain to check the weather forecast and research a little about the dangers then it is a risk that is measurable and mostly predictable. I can get away and be myself and don't have to interact with anyone.
In these crazy days I crave the Zombie Apocalypse.
So I have mostly explored a big drain northside, around Warringah. Lots of side tunnels, hard to get into and out of over fences. There's an upstream one that's in an industrial estate that's much easier, but less exciting.
If you like drains then google maps is your friend. Theres no 'secret maps' with all the locations... well actually there are but that would defeat the purpose of exploring. Trust me it's way more exciting when you find a location yourself.iExplore wrote: ↑18 Nov 2019, 6:29 pmI will, and I am. Mostly just catching trains around and keeping an eye out as well as looking at maps for creeks that end abruptly.

Also your legs are your best friends. Walk up a creek and you might find an unexplored gem 
And been spending time fighting Centerlink for robodebt s***. Bastards. I live on $15 a day after rent. That's why I want a map, I can't afford to wander around looking for stuff. Plus I'm a millenial and you know us, the instant answer generation. If you can't google it, it does not exist.
But I did find this!!!!! http://www.uer.ca/urbanadventure/www.ur ... _mreps.htm drain maps, just no context for the maps. I mean they could be in Siberia for all I know but my friend did point out that we explored this one the other day http://www.uer.ca/urbanadventure/www.ur ... bledox.htm
I can't believe people were exploring drains and photographing them and making web sites of them 20 years ago. I wasn't even born then. They must be fucken ancient by now.
Does anyone else know of web sites with drain maps or pictures in Sydney?
This is fucken amazing! Just reading it. Great stuff.
