| | | Hey people, I'm 20 years old and from Melbourne's eastern suburbs in Australia, always been interested in Urban exploration and still find myself dressed in camouflage with a less enthusiastic mate behind me, usually both drunk, finding our way into interesting places. I really didn't expect to find an active website based on this stuff but here we are. I noticed a couple of people from the Cave Clan on here, I've read all about them, it's pretty cool to see that sort of thing still goes on, I may have to meet up with some members one day for a little tour. For any Melbournians reading this, I spent a lot of my time at Koonung Creek (stormwater system that runs into the Yarra River) as a kid and know the area fairly well, I have a little info from my older brother on a good tunnel down there with a big room and a system of tunnels running into it. Haven't found it as I can't remember where exactly he said it was. If you've explored the area around Koonung Creek too let me know!

| | | Hiya! I recently moved to Philadelphia after living in Texas for the last 9 years. I discovered urbex after seeing a friend's photos from his explorations. Needless to say, I was completely enamored--by the idea, the philosophy, the thrill, the stories, and the history. So far, I've been to three psychiatric hospitals, a coal breaker, a prison, and a convent. This new-found hobby reminds me of a Tennyson poem that reads "O Earth what changes hast thou seen!" At first glance, these places quickly live up to the label "abandoned" and the connotations that follow: ugly eyesores, a waste of space. Yet as we begin to uncover their layers of dust and grime, of history and opulence, of form and function, we learn--no, we experience--and relive the past. We begin to imagine these places in their zenith. For a moment, we are transported. We see the ghosts of the past, very much alive for this one moment. And for a second, we pause. We think. We ponder. If this is how quickly the earth can reclaim what is rightfully hers, how much of these ebbs and flows has she experienced? How many civilizations has she seen attempt to take over the world only to crumble from within? In a matter of decades, buildings that once stood in harsh defiance against nature, now quietly bends to their knees. Oh earth, what changes you have seen.

Taking only photos, leaving only footprints...

| | | Howdy, I made this account a while ago, and forgot to post because it would not let me for X# days, not my fault. I am probably just going to continue to lurk, keep quiet, and not f' things up locally.I love to urban-ex, builder, rock-climb, hike, do parkour, and other similar things, but because of my age/gender/build/look I stick out to police and civilians...Yay profiling...
