Man I would love to come along one time and learn not only about the tunnels but about the photography as well.

Hey I'm not your best bet as I'm off to see the world soon. Contact the Cave Clan in your city, they can help you with the tunnel side of things have plenty of capable photographer to.

Seems interesting....I want to play too!!

Mate...loving those pics of the Brisbane underground...if only I had checked them out when I was there years ago! By the way, if you're off to see the world, make sure you make time for the UK...lots to see here!! Check out this website www.28dayslater.co.uk

A bit offtopic, but I spotted a large drain entrance in Brissy the other day, an outlet into the river, coming out of the bank fairly high up, near the south end of the riverside expressway It has a square-ish section at the front, which changes to an inverted egg-shape after a metre or three, tall enough to stand in.Ever explored this one? Are there photos on the site of this very drain? Does it have a cool urbex name?I can only speculate that it leads to the hidden underground city we all know exists under the CBD.

Sure waffle, that's the best known drain in Brisbane and the first one found by the Cave Clan.

yo i found some funky drains around carindale heights. Large ones that go for ages, also do you know of any spillways around brisbane?

Man this stuff is awesome! Anyone ever checked out the old mill in albion? They're going to be tearing it down soon.

HEY shwar im up for checking out that mill at albion but every time i get the chance my freinds dont want to go ill cheack it out with ya some time if ya want ALL invited :)

hey dsankt i found a drain under the walkway that go's past the old customs house on the river just down from the old stone drain looking out at the story bridge looks hard to get to without geting wet a boat might do the trick at low tide do you know of this one and if its got another way in ? + i found another that go's under an estate in eight mile plains go's a long way good fun though geting in and out ;)

i'm only new to this scene, so new infact that i just found the site lol. Anyone round brisbane want to check anywhere out and want an extra on board give me a yell :DI have tried to track down Cave Clan before but had no luck. I would love to join Cave Clan if they're reading this or even form my own group if need be.

hey guys ive herd a lot of rumors about a catacom under brisbane is it true duz it realy exist ?

Fiz, funnily enough we chased a guy who claimed such a thing and even dropped a hint for more information. He never responded to email and we never could find the 'catacombs'.

Hey, FIZ, did you check out the mill? It's boarded up at the moment, but it looks like mr_magoo_icu has been in recently anyway, so it's clearly open to those who make the effort. Dsankt, sorry to hijack your comments to make conversation :)

yeah still dosnt stop me lol its a nice absail from to top of the silo too :) had too laugh the last time i was there we stumbled into the old house and were chased out by some angry tramps :) never ran so fast in my life :)

I want to do some sound recording in one, and possibly spend a night or two! :)please reply to my music myspace page - I check it more regularly than other emails etc.thanks!

oops - that was www.myspace.com/phreaf ;)

Hey Fiz, sorry I never checked this page since I posted! But about this time last year me and a couple of mates did end up going in one night, It was great fun, no photos though... it was kind of a spare of the moment decison to go down there. Went right up to the top of the silo, could see right into the pub next door. We only had our phones and a lighter for light, and as our first urban exploration experience it was a total thrill. Its a pitty they've gone in and developed it, but I suppose its cool theyr'e keeping part of the old building. WIsh there was more places like this.

hey man yeah there is and i plan to find em all >.< well hope to anyway just so much cool places out there to go ......one place im going next is the hinze dam near the gold coast there is a vent ya can crawl in and go into the dam wall hope its a good place to explore

WAFFLE, are you talking about the one right near the maritime museum, if not ill show you, goes for a couple of k's and im not sure where the s riverside is pisses me off every oneseems to know but me (joelwoodcroft@hotma il.com) any help from any one is appreciated

na thats the one right near the back of the police station it winds around for a bit then turns into a long hall then to one side with the big room looking out at the roma st garden lake.... anyone check out the doll hanging from the ceiling covered in red paint lol nearly gave me a heart attack when i first saw it..... some origanal humor there......OR some real sickos that think there saintanists O.o

anyway hows euroupe going dsankt?

Dope enough to stay permanently if I wasn't so ADD. The front page is a mixture of crazy London infrastructure, russian goodness and the ukraine. That just about sums it up.

FIz- Yeah i saw that creepy doll, but last time i went in it had the shit burnt out of it, Still hanging from the roof tho!

yeah havnt been back in a wile now /cry to busy with work and all realy wana get back into it tho....the suns starting to hurt my eyes and ive grown skin back on the palm of my hands....lol but theres a few places i wana go back and take a few mates that are new to the scene :)

brilliant stuff, im dreaming and drooling at the same time.. would love to see it all, had no idea this was all just around the corner. just brilliant.

the mill will be fully demolished by 2010 to make way for apartments and a shopping centre. my piece still stands in there, on the one remaining building. and theres one remaining silo. I wish when i used to get in there years ago i had a decent camera instead of a digi, they're the only shots i ever got of the place. It was amazing. my first abandoned building experience too.

Anyone up for some caving in brissy this weekend? Done darkie, burfords, 73, lots to still find. Someone wanna show me something new?

Hey.. I'm very new to this and ahve only poked around a bit with a few friends. Can anyone tell me if there's anything we should really avoid aside from the obvious?

I fell over this amazing site when googling "Brisbane heritage stormwater". I am hoping that one of you underground explorers might be able to help me. Our 1889 building at the Gabba has a problem. The roof stormwater exits the building thru the basement. While basement flooding has sometimes happened because the water is slow to get away, the drain now seems blocked. Though the blockage is actually under Stanley Street, Council says the fix is our problem and can't even help with drainage plans. Does anyone know if there is an old tunnel system in Stanley Street near the Gabba Sports Grounds? I suspect we've never been connected to the modern stormwater system. The thought of having to dig up Stanley St to find the problem is heart stopping and ridiculous! Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

hi all,
myself and a few friends are keen photographers and really wanna get into some urban photography. can anyone suggest some good places in brisbane to start off? i'm thinking of hittin that cave near the southern side of the riverside expressway. not sure where bouts it is or how to get to it - ive only just heard about it.

where is the best and most popular one. and safest might i add, to go exploring in. im really keen to go.

This site was never created to be a shopping list but evidently that's how it's become. Sad.

Take it as a compliment dsankt; your site is evidently the Internet launching pad to anything drain, pipe or just Brisbane City Council related (comment #35 is lovely).

hey all, im new to this and i was wondering if anybody knows any little treasure troves in ipswich. info will be much apreciated. thnx

Try driving around and looking for derelict buildings, popping manholes and seeing what's underneath, and getting into construction sites and getting up the cranes. It's all in front of you.

thnx and haha i went out with a mate the other day and theres a storm water system at the enterance to the local bush. will take a look after school on friday

Hmm, so many lazy people. Who's keen to explore in Brisbane? I know a plethora of places :)

Do you have an email address Chicken Nugget? Or is it possible I know you already?

:D Give us a Buzz if ya Keen Urbancavers@hotmail. com we go every few weeks
