This page was originaly host to a webcam feed from the demolition site of the Julia Farr hospital. Demolition has long since finished and a new building is currently
being constructed on the site.
During the demolition period a second stills camera was installed on the rooftop of a neighbouring building. This camera captured more than 50,000 photos over a period of about 6 weeks.
The resulting photos have been assembled into a 3.5 minute time lapse which you can now view below.
The current view shows roughly half the total building. the right hand side is currently untouched. if anything starts happening on the other side i'll pan the camera around.
There's a bit of activity going on behind the tree, but they're mainly just cleaning up rubble. Keep checking though, when the other bit goes it could happen pretty fast.
I think the camera may have crashed. Sorry guys. I will try to fix it this evening.
The refresh rate will be slow until the guy who's up channel I'm leeching off of gets a better internet connection.

The camera hasn't crashed Wizard, there actually working on the other side of the building, so you just cant see them at the moment

UrbanTwilight...
UrbanTwilight is photographing the underground tunnels, abandoned buildings, rooftops, and hidden industry that most people would never normally get to see. The images contained on this site have been shot in Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Hobart, and countless country locations inbetween. Nearly all have been taken in low to very-low lighting conditions, and most on Canon digital equipment.
The Julia Farr Home for Incurables
After sitting vacant for more than 30 years, the Julia Farr Hospital's 'Home for Incurables' has finally been demolished.
Urbantwilight hid a camera on the roof of a neighbouring bulding and filmed the 4 week demolition process. Checkout the timelapse video.

UrbanTwilight turns 10 this year so I've finally made some time between the tunnels and abandoned buildings (and my day job) to make a few improvements around the place.
The images are bigger, the old ones have been colour corrected, and a handful have been given the flick. Most importantly there's a whole new section called 'Archives' -
You should check it out from time to time, you never know what you might find.
The Funnel
An expedition report of sorts, this has been hiding on Urbantwilight for years. 'The Funnel', 'The Pothole', 'Skate or die'. Whatever you choose to call it, this place is awe-inspiring.
