Bayside Hotel

Need a place to stay? How about the Bayside Hotel?

A classy establishment with ample space, especially for tall people!

Pirates invading Caulfield Church!

I've always been a fan of 'creative' art. Never so much of the church. So... We decided one night to commandeer a church flagpole and fly the Jolly Roger high and mighty!

 

With great success, this flag could be seen from the train on approach to Caulfield station!
Whats more, it was there for almost a month before the church owners noticed and took the flag down!

Exhaust Tower

This one's an old favourite.

Wonky Town

As Far as I know, my girlfriend and I are the only people that made it into this site.

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.

Collingwood Silos - 2011 Revisit

We rocked up to collingwood, having visited these silos before many months earlier.

Sadly, the first set we visited was in the process of being turned into apartments... As is the nature of the city...

From the inside, we realised that not only had the main structure been torn down from around the still standing silos, but there was no floors anywhere. Instead, there were just hollow silos with windows cut into them.
It was a very strange experience. And I must admit, having visited previously, I was sorry to see such an interesting place with many memories disappear.

Roof Tops

I know why people do it.
I know why they lock their roof tops. 
Why they shut their stair-wells to all, unless in an emergency (and even then only to go down).
Its not just because they're worried of people jumping, ending their lives off the top of a skyscraper.
Its because they are afraid. 
Afraid that if you should feel what I feel every time I step out to the top of a roof in the heart of the city, that chaos would ensue...
