Quarry.

Andrew and I made an impulse decision to go check out the quarry on the full moon the other night. We weren't really sure if the quarry was still being used or not so we weren't sure if there would be security. So we thought we would play it safe and go in the back way. This meant a couple of kilometers of hiking through bushland. Andrew and I being so super smart thought that google earth is a fool proof way of not getting lost while hiking through the bush. We thought it would be as simple as walking up a hill untill we reached the top and there the quarry would be... wrong. After walking for almost an hour and running into way to many spiders webs we reached the top but the quarry was no where in sight, just more bush. So we thought we would walk in the direction the quarry should be. We ended up walking back downhill through grass that was up higher than our head. It was so thick we could not even touch the ground. At some points it was more swimming than walking. We figured that we were completely lost and would walk to the closes lights we could see. After about an hour of this we were quite close to some houses. Except there was an avalanche net between us and the houses/road. this thing had to be about 5 or 6 meters high (it felt that high at the time at least) so Andrew being the parkour fiend climbed it first and i passed him the camera gear.




Andrew was already about a meter or two off the ground in this photo. The climb was not as easy for me, Climbing fences and buildings isn't something i do in my spare time like Andrew.

We got down and onto the road and i grabbed this shot of Andrew looking back up at the bush where we had come from.
























We realised we were at the back of the retirement home. which was only about a km walk from the quarry so we made our way over to the quarry and ended up just walking in the front entrance. We felt like royal fools.

After walking around the quarry for a while we found this piece of machinery that looked like it hadn't been used in a few years. We had a bit of a climb on it and took some photos.













































There wasn't too much else at the quarry, just an old shed that was quite boring really. So after all that we had a hectic walk back to the car. Never have i been happier to get off my feet. They were killing me by the end of the night
