1. Post photos of what you have done.
2. At least tell us stories of what you have done.
3. If you have not done anything, at least admit it.
Your first tip is asking for locations wont get any replies. Urban exploration. Not urban tourism. - Echo

Agreed
I used to work with a Bangladeshi guy who was a kid when it was still East Pakistan. He told me a story of when the Pakistani soldiers were raiding his village and him and his friend were running away and he could hear the bullets whizzing by and then her friend's head exploded.
He'd also come to Australia to get a better university degree (he said that a uni degree from the sub-continent wasn't worth the paper it was written on). One day he came up to me and started crying saying he misses his wife and child. I asked him how old his child was and he said 4 months old. I was like, "huh? You've been here for 9 months".
The dude had never met his son. Sad stuff.
Judging by your other post you know your way around Canberra drains?

For some reason I said "her friend's...".BigDaddy365 wrote: ↑23 Aug 2021, 11:43 amInteresting story Doug, and yeah it was a quite a gruesome period back then as I also heard from some veteran relatives. Re. drains, I know a few such as the Manuka/Kingston (batcave) and also some around Lake Ginindera.
Best drain in Canberra has to be Secret Squirrels I reckon

Hmm I haven't been down there yet; i do know its location and seen some photos of it. Quite heavily explored judging by the amount of graffiti. The triple split tunnel looks really cool ngl. But as time goes by I think I want to explore more; and that is where Canberra kinda sucks (to my knowledge).ironfistdoug wrote: ↑24 Aug 2021, 12:03 pmFor some reason I said "her friend's...".BigDaddy365 wrote: ↑23 Aug 2021, 11:43 amInteresting story Doug, and yeah it was a quite a gruesome period back then as I also heard from some veteran relatives.

Yeah, Canberra drains pretty much suck unless you like round concrete pipes.
Secret Squirells is still worth doing. It's quite unique in Australia.
