Hey everybody, I'm Tim..

Greetings to all..

I'm Tim and I've only just started to get into draining / urban exploration.. a mate told me Sydney had heaps of underground tunnels and drains from his Graff knowledge and then i just went from there and after a few days of research I started looking around.. (I don't graff but i respect and admire the artwork)
I'm from the southern Sydney area and have looked a little bit in drains around Kogarah, Blakehurst and Oatley areas on Solo missions and today I explored Hercules Pillars with a friend..

As I work at the snow during winter and usually head overseas for our summer I usually have a little time to kill between seasons and this is looking like a pretty fun way to spend some of that time..

I'll put up some pictures once they upload of some of the places i've been

Cheers
Tim.

Welcome mate, nice shots as well. There seems to be plenty on offer for Sydney explorers.

hatboy · 17 May 2013, 11:53 pm

and some drainage in Kogarah.. I havent explored this the whole way yet but i know it goes for quite a while.. This is all the shots I have for now.. I will be heading down to the snow in a few weeks and will try and check out golburn and maybe secret squirels in canberra on the way and possibly even the tunnel depending the road condition and how busy work is for me at the start of the season..

Looking forward to more.
Cheers!

Very nice photos! Welcome. I like the one of the side tunnel in Herc's. I've only managed to squeeze a short way up that tunnel.

Nice pics dude! I'm not as far south as you but let me know if you are ever near the city to do some exploring

Titan · 25 May 2013, 12:14 pm

Nice pics doode

Welcome to UEGA also.

The Blakehurst system isn't very interesting, a lot of stoopy stuff, but check out the rest of Kogarah. There are some buried chambers off the small branches, and some old stuff when you reach Rockdale. Send me a PM some time if you want.

Welcome! I never knew Kogarah had some nice stuff.

There are hidden gems in many unexpected places.

I only wish more of them were within 10 minutes of me.

Lazy explorer is lazy.

Lazy explorer is lazy.

It is a question of time and accessibility rather than being lazy.

*cough cough*

Are you saying that you are thinking about moving out from cranes!

! That is quite unlike you.

Be careful midget, you may have to get your feet wet...
