Captivating

Free Spirit , a parrot and words that mean something to me. Being in my car allows me to be free , allows me to explore gorgeous paintings by our local Street artist like this one. This was a winner in my eyes as it summed me up.

A memory of who was once a student..

Let me take you back to the year (1887) when this school was first opened and sadly closed in 2009. Once was a child’s place for education and learning, is now a student’s memory. I personally didn’t start my studies at this school but I do remember sitting in the back seat of my mothers car in my early years, driving past.

As a child I always wondered what the school looked like as it was well hidden between houses. To enter was a nature walk over a creek, through trees and over a field. To me it was a mystery school and adventure school.

The school has been up for sale for a couple of years now as it was being used for a local community group, however it sits, ghostly and Unused. Unless you are an urbex Explorer or a street artist, then this school may have been used by you to create.

Run down

My love and interest in street art has come a long way from capturing the streets of Nambor and caloundra, to now exploring old run down buildings covered in graffiti. The images I have here are from a couple of places close to home, Seq, Ipswich.

Pops popular pictures

Built in 1920, what is known to be Red Hill Skate Rink to urban explorers and the local community of Red Hill started as “Pops Popular Pictures.”

In 1969, the building was then transformed into a local sound lounge popular amongst teenagers before it became a Skate Rink a year later.

Due to Arson and a fiery blaze in year 2002 the building was left to stand alone.

Its now 2019 and new renovations have started inside the building creating a cinema, a ten million dollar job.
