ANZAC Fire

draindrongo37 · 11 Jun 2021, 12:18 pm

Saw Doug's video of the fire and photo of the cops and firemen. Does anyone know what the hell happened and what's the condition of ANZAC like now?

I tried replying last night but it wouldn't let me type.

You probably saw the aftermath photo I posted. Soy took it yesterday.
Looks like it can be cleaned up and painted over.

Obviously this corporate box is history.

It astounds me that someone would do this. We must restore it.
What about a working bee of sorts? Throw together our efforts and get it rebuilt/painted

Bad news.
They've put a camera out the front of Anzac. It looks like you can walk in behind it but it's hard to tell if there are other cameras.

Thanks to @cxf_urbexadventures for the heads up about the camera & sending me @xplrsoph 's photo.

I wonder if the water co. will actually pay someone to sit and watch this and other cameras like it... Even then, I prefer to keep my feet dry and get in upstream!

Pretty sure you can just walk in behind the camera anyway. It will make having things like the Clannies more awkward, but yeah, they couldn't even use sensors because every critter would trigger it as they went by.

Thinking about it some more. I doubt Melb Water could get their s*** together that quickly. I'm thinking now that the camera is for the litter trap and nothing to do with the fire.

What do you think?
