Ok, one the Japan thing, why?

Not like their European cars or anything... Seriously, undercover space is a problem here, so they're lucky to get this treatment. As opposed to being crushed. I am sure the owner would be happy to sell to anyone interested. With no one interested, they sit there. Neko.

That's an awesome picture.

I probably posted this to UER a few years back.

-----------------

I went for another walk!

I went for a walk for a couple of hours - this time it was the other side of the Yallourn open-cut/power station that I mentioned earlier.

Bongarse and I had clipped the edge of the area when we found KLP2.7 and I always meant to head back.

I'd suggested to Bongarse that it was the outskirts of what was left of Yallourn (Yallourn sat where the open-cut mine is now located), however after my visit I asked a few questions and found out that what I saw was the remnants of Morwell West.

There is a brand-new fence around the property since Bong and I went there - probably something to do with the open-cut being extended and the power company's license being extended by 25 years.

It was a nice walk, but not much on offer as far as urban exploration goes, but I'll bore you with it anyway

Pics from phone.

The first thing I noticed was that all the signs and cars ALL had bullet holes in them whether they were newer signs...



or older signs...


I walked along an old unsealed road (probably Old Melbourne Road) for about 20 minutes before starting to find signs of Morwell West.


old sections of rail track.

The story I was told has the workers ripping up the tracks and chucking the rails on the train as it crawled out of Morwell West.


There were fence-lines where the houses stood.


A foot-path to nowhere.


The closest things to buildings were a few old sheds that you couldn't get into due to the black-berry bushes.


Bath anyone?


Another old thing!


A metal cable that was used as part of a fence cuts into a gum tree.


It looked like a cyclone had been through the area and people were caught trying to escape in their cars (switch off now if rusting cars do not excite you )















I watched an echidna getting stuck into a bull-ants mound for five minutes...



...before reaching the open-cut (or as close to it as I needed to go).




I then went and met the others... but that's another story!

Cheers,

Doug


By the way, the above pics are only half the cars that were there!

Early bay window VW Bus I found behind the formerly abandoned house my parents are fixing up in Florida. Bad photo taken with a phone and a deep, full drainage ditch I couldn't get through to get closer, I'm sorry.

Just for fun ...

No pictures because I forgot my camera, but recently I found a Mazda MPV with the keys in the ignition. I, being me, decided to turn them, and it actually started up. But the gas was old and mostly used up, so it stalled immediately. But still. That was pretty awesome.

Apparently a local Volkswagen repair shop has a white Super Beetle ragtop locked behind a fence in an alley.

The ragtop had a huge hole right over the driver's compartment, and it was last registered in 1994. I'll get a picture the next time I go.

Mercedes 280 SE Coupe


'83 Porsche 944



'85 Toyota Van (I haven't seen one of these out my way without rust since... '86?)


BMW Z3


Mercedes SL500


Austin Healey Sprite


'90 Corvette

I found this on a remote farm near Canada, in western Washington. I am sure there is some tread life on some of those tires.

Nobody noticed that Rico posted a photo of something that wasn't burnt black, or rusted into the ground........ I think that's a first for him.


I found this photo on the webz, taken in the late '60's. It shows a very rare factory works BSA from the late '60's...... I've owned this very bike since 1991, it was kinda cool to find a photo of from so long ago. I know it's not a car....... But I had to tell somebody.

Seat Cordoba Vario

There is a Farm in Epping, New Hampshire that is loaded with abandoned old cars, trucks, and buses. There are many more but these are just a few! The people who own the farm are extremely friendly and will gladly let you explore if you ask!
