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

XXXX
Looking for places to go at high tide, in a city that bends around a river that shortly arrives at its destination, makes for a little challenge.

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.

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.

Walk Right In
The first time you sneak into an abandoned building is a rush. From the fist spotting, to having a reccy about to slipping in for the first time. It's a great and memorable experience, and it soon leaves you wanting a repeat.
I stumbled upon this place by accident and was trying to be a good lad and get some exercise by walking a few stations across the city, when I happened on it.

Sneaking About
The last time I came here I was a lot less nervous, but still didn't get all the way to the top, as I figured in daylight, I would be a curiosity wandering about on the skyline, which may attract the wrong sort of attention.
