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?...
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover" Mark Twain

Acoustic Terrors
Tired and sore footed, I emptied my shoes and socks of sand from Checkmate, while we looked at the high tide coming into Batcave, making our entry there impossible. We decided to have a look at a few places close by, then head for a Dsanktuary entrance in the hopes tide would not foil us there also.

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.

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.

At last Aquacave!
I finally got an evening to go for a bit of an explore, so I called an acquaintance I had not met up with before and he agreed, himself and a friend would like to come have a bit of a photo session in a drain called Toadie.
