Explored with Dweeb.

A cracking edgy explore in the dark.

It's pretty much a walk in but once in there's cameras. lights, people, vans and just a sense that time isn't on your side.

The first few pictures are from behind the recently demolished coal prep plant looking towards the headstocks...

We never made it to those headstocks for various reasons including the aforementioned "cameras. lights, people, vans" and an injured Turkey in the car meaning we couldn't spend all night trying, so we aimed for the other headstocks. Obstacles aside, it was fairly easy...

There's lots to see here. Pretty much everything including the 980m shaft surrounded by a bit of Heras. And it's all coming down quickly, the main headstocks within a week or so. It would be a shame if they weren't explored. Get on it locals.
