The South Fremantle Power Station & Tunnels - Finale

Jun 28, 2009 21:11

What an absolute disappointment, we finally got all the way down and just as the tunnels promised into something good, we found that the authorities had deliberately collapsed the only entrance tunnel and barricaded it. 2 inches of steel plate and at least 40 tonnes of sand and rock can put an end to your fun real damn fast ( Read more... )

The murders story is a more anecdotal "Every knows that..." story.

Unfortunately, since that expedition we had found out that the THREE subterranean levels that still had all the heavy machinery still in place had been completely filled with sand and rubble (A deliberate act) by Western Power to both prevent unauthorised entry and to reduce the risk of collapse.

Thanks for the great photos. I came across this power station by chance during a trip to Rockingham. Ran out of memory card, otherwise I would have taken more photos. I have taken 360° photos inside sections of the power station, which you can see on my website http://barneymeyer.com/south-fremantle-power-station/

I attributed the history of the power station back to your website.

My favourite photo from this series is "The Ball Bearing", the last image on the above page.

I'm interested to find like-minded people to explore abandoned places in Perth, how do I contact them?

Hi flaming_retina
I checked out your website and also you have written that you want to find like-minded people to explore abandoned places, I'm one of them. I've been to the powerstation only once with a few friends but it was a quick visit, basically a walk in and out. I've also gained an interest in photography and have been asking around for info on good gear to start out.
Cheers

Great, have a few people now who would like to go together for a shoot. I'll e-mail you directly about the photo gear.

Went there today. Couldn't go right in as security kept doing laps

I have heard of this place and seen so many pictures of it. However, being new to Perth I honestly have no idea where any of these sites are.
Being an avid explorer of the abandoned buildings and other places one shouldn't be it since a young age I would appreciate if someone could hook me up with GPS coordinates?
