Visited with a mate and two others, sort of as a tour guide so they could do photography course stuff. I thought I'd not come away with enough pics to do a decent report but I ended up with more than I expected, having found our ways into some of the lesser-photographed bits. Also I thought it might be nice to show some comparison shots between this, probably my final visit, and earlier visits I have taken to the Earthworks.

History has been done so many times before, but now is the time to see this place because rumblings are happening, it can't be long before demolition starts.

























Few more recent bits of graf









Lastly, a few comparison pics

May 2010 (top), March 2011 (bottom)





November 2010 (top), March 2011 (bottom)





And, most depressingly - November 2010 (top), March 2011 (bottom)





Thanks for looking, more pics here http://www.flickr.com/photos/mookie427/sets/72157626157171067
 
Nice work Mooks, still looks like a good explore.

Are the upper levels still accessible?

Looks like I may have to visit again to pay homage. :)

Cheers:mrgreen: yeah all the upper levels are accessible with a bit of improvised ladder access, but some of the exterior walkways are very ropey, the 'bridge of death' especially. I wouldn't chance the exterior staircase up to the very top levels any more but luckily there is a way up through the interior. It's still as nice and relaxed as ever and worth a mooch.
