Abandoned complex 7

Description

My first urban exploration trip in Australia to an abandoned military compound which appeared to be a supply or storage area. I was told that the whole area was fenced and that although it was not guarded, the only way to enter was through an unfenced portion behind an adjacent factory which was still in use. As it turned out, not only was the fence torn wide open in many places, the front gate was wide open and facing the main road. 

I drove straight in, somewhat uneasy about how open the place was. I would like to explore more fascinating places like this, but have always assumed from other photos on the net that they would be isolated, cluttered and difficult to get into. I could have driven straight into some buildings if I wished.

The central structure was a large, airy warehouse, there was a guardroom at the gate, several (presumably) office buildings, and many outlying secondary sheds and storerooms. All furniture had been stripped away and vandals and drug abusers had been present. The discarded syringes lying around prompted me to leave in half an hour, fearing that someone might be deranged enough to emerge from hiding and wreck my car. I would have liked to explore further with a friend, but real life commitments had me moving too far from this location to try again.
