Deus Ex - Human... Reality?

Thanks to Kronos for the link to this. As previously mentioned, i've played (and thoroughly enjoyed Deus Ex), this however is about comparing the augmentations presented in the game to the augmentations currently available now.

Joshua Pitt Tannery

This was somewhere I hadn't been previously.
Previously, i've explored across the road from this place, but never actually got around to checking out this side of things as a result of distractions in the other warehouse.

Showing a couple of friends around i took them across the road, afterwards, we went and checked out the Tannery (for those that don't know, its where leather is made).
It turned out to be quite a large facility, and quite an interesting place to explore. For those planning on visiting. It now features security patrols and an attempt has been made to lock it down further.

This place also has some of the best graffiti i've seen in a while. I'm not usually to keen on graff in topsides as it usually results in them being locked down. All the same though. The detail in some of this stuff blew my mind.

Geelong Cement Factory + Train Pt3

So!

First off. The final piece of the train story! This model/particular carrige is known as BRF 91 / OWA 91 Community Service Car.

It took some finding, but i found some original photographs of the what the carrige in the below shots used to look like..

In 1952 it entered service.
In 2006 it was left to rot in a hanger where it still sits by "Rail Experience"
Thanks to wongm for the research...

Amusingly, although this train is stored in the "Geelong Cement" shed, it apparently has nothing to do with it. It just happens to be parked there and forgotten like...

The actual cement factory!

Warning - Lots of photos(thumbnails) below the break!
