Possum's Eel Cave

This place had to be up there with the prettiest brick drains I have visited, and it's a real hidden little gem without a spot of graffiti, which I thought was just awesome. Besides the odd brick waiting to come loose and crush your skull, and sounds of thunderous impending doom, it provided for a great explore. Or is that because of?...

Accommodator

Having not ventured under for months since the last adventure went decidedly pear shaped, and flashing lights and pools of blood had put the fear of god into me. It was a tad difficult to make the decision to delve under again.

Waa, the tides up!

The tide was supposed to be against us from the get go, but while I waited on the grassy bank watching rowers pass to and fro, the outfall was surprisingly un-flooded at this hour. We were happy to seize upon this good fortune.

Checkmate Hiking

I had always wanted to have a look in Checkmate or Woolongabba Darkie as some call it. I had see old YouTube clips, strange carpark installations and read online about it from my first burgeoning interest in exploring underground. Aydun had suggested we go there first on what we had both hoped would be a long and prosperous night of multiple drain explores. Turns out Checkmate had more to offer than we had bargained for.

Hide and Seek

Hidden infrastructure fascinates me, it's the unseen cogs that drives the world around us, but to most people bobbing along through life, it goes completely unnoticed, and even when noticed, ignored.

Finding images like this from our southern neighbours got me thinking, where does Brisbane hide its underground arteries?

Internet Draining

It's always interesting meeting someone from the net for the first time, you never know what they are going to be like, and when you plan on going underground into a dark hole with them the first time you meet, it sort of gives you pause for thought.
