Altona house abandoned, Melbourne

 

I am planning to post a series of abandoned urbex photos around Melbourne. It is not everyone's cup of tea; it is something to document my journey in this genre.

Abandoned in Clifton Hill, Melbourne

 

One of my pals lived in this burb. We get our expresso in a cafe not far from this location every weekend.

Abandoned Gold Mining Equipment in Forest Creek, Castlemaine

 

After seeing some blogger friends posting on mining equipment, I took quite a few abandoned in the wilderness in Loddon Region of Victoria.

Seriously, this shall be protected in a shelter of some sort instead of being left out in the wilderness.

Abandoned Holden Car for Treasure Tuesday

 

After a busy day, I feel so unmotivated to do my daily walk in the park.

For a while, I had an obsession to photograph old, abandoned car. Kind of treasures for Treasure Tuesday

Abandoned papermill, Fairfield

 

This stair was actually quite wobbly to climb. The whole suburb is now turned into apartment complex. There was an abandoned mental health facility that was now demolished turning into an estate of some sorts.

Sony is releasing A7RV for which I already place a pre-order. Can't wait to have the new toy to come!

Abandoned Gold fields, Castlemaine, Victoria

 

Castlemaine is now a hub for the alternative and the yabbies. The town is surrounded by abandoned goldfield equipment leaving them to rust and decay.

Easey Street Tram restaurants

 

On Thursday last week, I took cameras to camera clinic for infra-red modification. Joel was meant to do this a few months ago. He procrastinates too much. So I do it for us instead.

Next to the shop, this iconic restaurant that comprised of 3 abandoned trams were standing right there before me. I happened to have my new toy sigma 24mm f3.5 pancake. So I was snapping away like my fingers having spasms.

Mungo Shearer Shed, New South Wales, Australia

 

It was always an obsession to seek the rusted and decayed and the abandoned. In this part of the world, this is where people come here to disappear from the earth. 

Funny I used to travel and explore alone. After a few occasions that I nearly left stranded in the middle of nowhere, I cut back on the activity. 

Now I do miss these sceneries.

From Richmond Alley for Mural Monday

 

A little nostalgic. I spotted in an alley next to an abandoned warehouse in Richmond. This was from a few years ago.

Saltworks at Lake Tyrrell for Sunday Best

 

Third time in this location along the unsealed road of Salt works Rd. Many hares manically running away from me as I approached the lake side. I was meaning to go to a site with abandoned tractor coated by thick pink salt. I decided not to do that because of risk of being sand bombed.

Summer is definitely here. Time to get physical and lose some weight. Gonna start intermittent fasting again.

Cleveland coast Brisbane for Treasure Tuesday

 

Joel and I saw the sign saying "gorgeous Red Coast" on the freeway. So we made a turn and explored this region. It turned out Red Coast was not red yet quite dull to visit. Too built up for our liking. 

Then besides the mangrove bush, this abandoned old dock was observed. Few minutes later, the whole ground was covered in water.

Cat Bay Sunset for Water H2O Thursday

 

It was a trip to west end of Phillip Island. Joel refused to photograph the famous broken jetty in the area. Instead, we camped at this rocky foreshore. Later in the night, we abandoned to do Milkyway because of my misreading of the moon rise time which was hanging brightly in the middle of sky. 

School holidays drive traffic even crazier than normal. I can't wait for the kids return to school.
