Yarraville - St Georges Theatre



Today Lps and I swung over to West Footscray to see my friend, Tania's new baby. Cute! On the way home we attempted to buy cheese kranskys from Andrews Butcher in Yarraville, but alas- it was closed. So I went and had a quick squiz at the old St Georges Theatre around the corner.

Smoke Stack - Gas technology Centre, Moorabbin


This is the old Gas Technology Centre in Nepean Hwy - Right next to the Moorabbin Courts.
All that remains is a smokestack.


Primo site for redevelopment- I can only assume the ground is a bit toxic, to remain empty for so long.

I was intrigued to pass this space on the train on my way down to Mordialloc for a wedding, and insisted Nick accompany me back to have a wander.

There's gate access via the court carpark, however I saw a guy walking his dog- so I am sure there is entry points all around- especially as it backs onto a recent housing development.

The very recognisable blue gates.

Pt 1. Jacques- Abandoned Stone Crushing Factory, Richmond


I was lucky enough to get into the old Jacques stone crushing factory in Richmond, pre Aspbestos removal & pre transformation into Studio Apartments.
