(More stuff from by Brisbane to Cairns roadie in Queensland, Australia)
So after the glorifying experience of photographing the Frosty Mango we came into the next city. One of the first places we hit up was this small graffiti ridden warehouse in the middle of a giant plot of towering weeds even though its exterior left little to the imagination.
It was such a bitch to get to. The prickles up North are fucking psycho - some of them were so intense they shredded through the sole of my shoes. Admittedly I could have come prepared with better shoes ... same with a USB cord ... and an AUX cord ... and water ... and more than one outfit ... and just, prepared in general.
We plowed our way through this huge field of weeds and gnarly dry grass before we finally got to the loading dock of the building. The place had been pretty trashed so it was to no surprise we found a door wide open and it was no surprise the building itself was one of the most boring things we found on our trip. Vandals had pulled a whole wall out of its fitting which lead to an entire door breaking off its hinges, held in mid air by rubber sealing. We noticed this after standing under it.
It didn't take us long to realise this was a locomotive maintenance warehouse for Queensland Rail.
We then left the property and although there was already a hole in the fence we had noticed not a single location we had explored yet required jumping a fence so, for the hell of it, we jumped that fence without anyone driving by on the main road batting an eyelid.
Its like people up here simply don't give a fuck.
