Royal Melbourne Hospital Tunnels - Pt 2

So this time was the 'guided tour' with Melbourne Open House. Honestly i was to busy photographing everything in sight to pay much attention to the guide. There are a few places we visited on the day that we hadn't seen before. The generator room for example. Big generators i do say!
Took a couple of snaps of the history of the place while we were waiting in the UNBEARABLY LONG LINES. GAH!
Anyway.
Had i known that it was open to the public on tours like this... Well... I might never have found my own way in.
Take note operators of MoH! Opening your buildings to the public discourages breaking and entering! Please have all buildings full access for future events. Thanks!
Also. Would it kill more places to have their rooftops open for 'inspection'.
Sheesh.

Royal Melbourne Hospital Tunnels - Pt 1

This year, at the 2011 Melbourne Open House the Royal Melbourne Hospital engineering tunnels were open to the public.
When i realised where i was heading i couldn't help but start grinning like an idiot. It was great. More than 8 months prior we'd managed to sneak in undetected and tour ourselves. Whats more, we'd seen more than we were shown on the tour and checked out a number of other interesting areas on our own.
There were a few things the tour showed us that we hadn't seen before which made it worth the hour long queue.

All in all, a great day!
