They wouldn’t have left those bits climbable if they didn’t want people to climb them.  They would have buried them underground, or something.  Oh. Continue Reading »

Air Services Drain

I guess building residential housing on floodplain land means that there’s a need, at times, to shift a reasonable amount of water.

Melbourne: ANZAC

February 10th, 2012

More landmarks! It’s big, it has seating, and it’s kind of open and airy. And, I hear, it’s a nice place to hide out from summer heat. Crazy Melbourne types…

February 9th, 2012

Black Pit

October 3rd, 2011

It had been years since I’d last pulled on a pair of wellies for the underground, but this evening… this evening was special.  Nowhere else around here has quite the same sulphurous black bile mud and noxious gases.  It’s a happy place!
