So many questions! are they all in the same place? why is Park road closed? why are the military patroling with dogs? What was the mine? I'm intreged

Hi gingrove.
No they are all different places.
We do not have many large abandoned places here where I live,
There are some down country I hope to document better in the future and share.
Park road runs around a dormant volcano.
A lot of people would park up and party, trash the buildings and vandalise the gun club at the base of the volcano.
One day it was burnt down so they gated the road.
You can still walk the old road.

The SAS have a training site out in the country, there are abandoned buildings where they practice whatever they practice, blow things up and play war etc. It's quite accessible from the road but they don't play nice with trespassers and their dogs are free to roam.

The mine photos are an old goldmine, one from the late 1800's.
Left over are the cyanide vats and rusted relics.
Tram rails cut the mountain.

More....

Thanks!!

Well you said you'd be back with a report and it was well worth waiting for, Excellent work SG, I Loved it, Many Thanks

These are the remains of the Wilson's cement works.
Visited in August 2015....

Built in 1880
After successfully manufacturing lime from local limestone, Nathaniel Wilson set up the plant in 1882.
By 1910 there were several large mills and kilns, and 180 workers.
In the 1920s the works were abandoned and left to decay.

Nicely Done SG, I enjoyed it, Thanks
