Happy Birthday Julzy!
Last night was a blast! Sorry i coundnt make it to the ID outing thingy, but it was one of my good mates birthday and she decided to celebrate it in a storm water drain in South Yarra.
I met up with some friends to go and help set everything up at about 6 oclock last night, by which time it was really starting to pour so we were quite nervous about herding 20 - 30 people down an abandoned drain to the point that we were concidering calling everyone up and moving the party else where. But when we actually got down there, we found that the water level wasn't too bad and we had hear from a friend in cave clan that there was a manhole was could get out from at the far end so we decided to press ahead. The enterance to the tunnel is about the width of a road lane with a river of water about a metre wide running down the centre. Inside it was pitch black and seemed to go on for about 2 or 3 blocks before it opened up into a wider chamber with lendges along all the walls complete with couches and rugs. All the walls were painted in awsome murals and all sorts of posters. There was absolutely no light in there but we brought bags of candles with us and we lined the ledges with them creating an awsome eery feel to the place. That combined with the bjork playing out of the portable sterio we brought with us was quite spectacular.
A little while later friends started turning up and a the whole party in a drain thing when done surprisingly well and it ended up bring an absolutely fantastic night. Muddy cuffs and big grins all round.
Two brave adventures head into the unknown.
Flash photography really does do this place justice. You really have to see it in the candle light...
Here's a big grin from the birthday girl :D
