This location was the site of my first proper underground experience, and it had been more than two years since I last ventured inside. Since then, the world has changed a lot, physically, most notably at the ‘birdcage’, which once looked out to the stars, and now merely reveals the underside of a flyover. Not much has changed inside, though.

Okay, so writing posts is probably not the most exciting way to kill time at a concert, but when the band has been offstage for forty-five minutes while the venue fixes the crowd barrier, there isn’t really that much to do. Tapping characters into a phone is tedious, but it’s something to do. That’ll teach me to go see bands alone. Anyway, I’ll cast my mind back to earlier that afternoon.

In terms of decrepitude, this is about as bad as it gets. What little remains of this amusement-centre-turned-karaoke-restaurant is so obviously abandoned as to be laughable. Smashed, gutted, and caked in years of pigeon poo, it stands on a main road like a neglected monument to better times.

The Kurwongbah spillway was bone dry for many years, the lake it serves being a distant puddle at the height of the drought. Fairly rapidly, though, the lake filled, and these days the waters lap against the spillway rim, or, in heavy rain, pour down the curved intake. It’s a different beast in the wet, sometimes very beastly indeed.

We all carry camera gear and torches around with us, day-to-day, right? You never know when an opportunity for poking around strange places might present itself. A lunch time meandering through the city provided some success…
