At the time, it had almost been completed. I believe that now, it is the Channel 9 offices or something.
Sadly, you can no longer access this location, nor the roof (which we stole a ladder from one area and used it to climb up onto the building through the 'smokers deck')
The views from the roof were great. Southern Cross Station (which we had climbed along before) looked totally different and almost like a giant artificial beach.
Below are the photos from one of my most enjoyable construction site explorations to date.
Engineering Rooms:
Massive air ducts that you could probably stand in
Beautiful cable runs (its geek nature to like perfect cabling)
The High Voltage control panel, lit up for the entire building. If we'd be bad, we could have turned the entire site dark. Would have been funny. But not safe to do. We left it well alone.
The floor below engineering. You can see the glass patio/smokers deck to the right, inside there was some scaffolding. We grabbed a ladder and propped it up on the slanting roof so we could climb onto the proper rooftop (engineering door was locked tight).
The views of southern cross station from the roof. Crazy stuff. I haven't checked in a while, but last time i was at southern cross it was still possible to acces the roof tops (via the flat - almost carpark like - area)
Our beautiful city.
Southern Cross trainyard/v-line platforms
If you've visited this site before successfully (a week after we left, the security cameras went live and alarms were installed)) or even are working there now. I'd love to hear from you.
