      Man, thank-you so much for sharing all of this....answered so many questions. Makes sense about the boneyard. Love that the castle was still there for you to see. That's absolutely wild that you could buy booze in there, and the officers got down like that. Doesn't sound like too bad a time at all haha. Not sure if you heard but it was demolished recently.

      @@urbexgecko yeh knew it was Gunna get demolished was meant to get demolished back in early 2000 but they decided to use it as a training ground for a while and yeh prison was way different back in the day when U were aloud to smoke and drink and all the officers were actually half decent and was not much rules or anything was just a giant day care centre for crims haha obviously heaps of bad shit aswell but majority of the time it was good

    friend of mine was in the Police Special Operations Group, they were always training with explosive shape charges to breach these types of old facilities, I went through the closed Fairlea womens prison in Melbourne in the 90’s. i found many walls breached and all kinds of stun grenades and blank cartridges everywhere.

      You're spot on! Found out after this was filmed it was used for training drills, imagine they'd be pretty fun.

    If there is one thing what I would like to explore, is an abandoned prison... Unfortunately there is none in Hungary where I am from.
    If you think about that people spend time in those cells, many hopes, dreams, regrets are still left in those cells.

      They don't come up too often in Australia either.
      Very true, you can feel that lingering energy in the cells.

    "I asked for a 13 but they drew a 31." is from a song by Th Offspring from their 1998 album Americana. from 2:05 into the song Pretty Fly (for a White Guy). Just saying.

      It is possible that the person who got Room 31 was an Offspring fan. Sorry I hit the Enter button half way through.

      Thank you for the like to my reply. My grandmother worked as a psychologist at wacol in the 1980s. She's no longer with us. All that knowledge, experience and connections with the past went with her. She was an awesome person.

    Also is it red hot now? Thx sir.

    • @urbexgecko
      @urbexgecko  10 месяцев назад +2

      Yeah mate, best bet is on the weekend though as the police train there though the week. From what I've read about it on FB lately, it sounds like nothing has changed security wise. It's tricky to get to when you haven't been before, If you need a map and more info just reach out on FB or IG. I was going to take you there last time you were in the area, but you didn't reply to my message haha.

      @urbexgecko  4 месяца назад +1

      Funnily enough the side you would access it from had no signs, plenty closer to the active prison though. It's government land, unsure what they will do with it now. Can't see anything commercial going there, possibly upgrade and extend the existing police K9 facility as they used to use this site for training anyway.
