This afternoon I explored those famous over-photographed abandoned tram sheds in Glebe..
The place is located right by Harold Park. It's probably easier to get in from the front (I don't remember the street name but you can see a little skate ramp from there. There are high fences but it's quite easy to get into that area. The front gates are high enough to crawl/roll under.
Going closer to the tram shed, we didn't know how to actually get in. We climbed through a hole in the fence. Luckily there were a few people leaving (there were wedding photos happening too..) who told us to climb through a window at the back. "It's a bit muddy" they all say. A BIT MUDDY IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.
The side and the back had a little muddy walkway (apparently it's always muddy there) where you would have to walk on pipes, milk crates, wooden planks and old chairs to avoid sinking into the mud. The open window is accessed by stepping unto an upside down rolly bin and entering the dark creepy toilets. It probably takes about 10 minutes to walk through all that mud and climbing in.
OH HAI.
The only trouble was all that mud. My suggestions (if you're going in without the gates/doors being open) are: wear boots and if you see large rocks, bricks, crates, planks of wood, etc BEFORE reaching the mud, BRING THEM WITH YOU. You may need it later when you're balancing on a small sinking piece of plank into the muddy pit of doom and destruction. The crates and stuff already there were quite unstable.
Might check out the Dunlop factory soon... has anyone been there?
