Hi from Melbourne!

Evening all. Me and a mate are super interested in draining and rooftop exploration - we've been looking into it and planning for a few months now. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

Don't get caught on rooftops is my only advice, run when the cops rock up cause they're being real dicks about it as of late. Don't break s*** either hey.

Thanks for the advice dude. Breaking stuff isn't on the table - we're not complete idiots thankfully!

Not true, actually. We found an abandoned building that seemed plausible but when we found it surrounded by security cameras and heavily locked doors (as well as barbed wire) nothing was broken, we were just disappointed.

Fair enough, I'm in Melbourne right now and I would be keen to explore with some locals, if you seen dm me on Instagram or snapchat, both are Gabe.seymour

foolsfoolsfools · 26 May 2017, 12:07 pm

Definitely happy to chat if you know any locales. Will discuss further on Instagram

Not if you're not a stupid kid, figure out ways to get around the locks non-destructively or it'll be every urbexer trying to get at you as well as the cops

Its not very hard to get passed most locks. The few roof doors in Brisbane that you can't open non-destructively have mental security anyway (The big M, its been done but they broke the door AND got caught).

You can try jimmying doors open, would watch out for cameras and alarms etc

Hi Fools,
I am new here also from Melbourne,
Perhaps we should plan something together, not sure how these things work but always wanted to go exploring.

Feel free to add me
