Lonely Loneliness

looking for abandoned places to explore in Victoria

Question:

My gf and I like to explore abandoned, desolate, derelict places, buildings, factories, anything in a state of decay which exudes loneliness.  I’d appreciate any info ranging from a single abandoned building in Melbourne to a whole ghost town, old mine, anything.  No tours. Thanks, dic at bigpond dot net dot au

Sounds like you’re down south. Try the Walkerville Lime Kilns. Find Leongatha on your map and look to the coast due south. Cheers, Alan —

Head over to SA and check out some of the townships – most of which are gazetted – in the Flinders and North.  It’s only a day from you.  Many are on the bitumen and are amazing.

Hawthorn Football Club, after a game? Daniel

Hello Richard The area between Mitta Mitta and Omeo in North East Victoria was occupied by thousands of gold miners in the late nineteenth century. There are some places to explore there where the miners used to live and operate. One of my favourite places is 10km from Mitta Mitta heading towards Omeo. There is an old disused church and cemetary to mark where a town used to be. If you go wandering through the bush, you will discover old gold mining operations however please make sure you stay on public land as the locals get peeved when people start wandering on their properties without permission. Also, further towards Omeo, there are also some old huts in the bush you can stay in if you can find them so long as they weren’t burnt down with last years bush fires and so long as some one else isn’t already staying in them when you get there. One of the huts is called the "Quart Pot Flat" hut which I helped to rebuild with some friends about 20 years ago and another is called the "Post Office" hut. I believe they are both still marked on maps of the area. Regards: Jim Sibbick
