You'll glow in the dark if you're ever unfortunate enough to find yourself in this place.
Years later a local told me it was a 'secret rare earth processing plant'
I think the secret might have been that they were processing uranium there, not so much the plant itself.
I went past this place just recently. The fences had Radiation signs all over them, and the plant was slowly being disassembled by workers hazard suits.
Good thing this never happened there.. http://www-tech.mit.edu/V119/N46/japan.46w.html

This was definately Port Pirie. The sytle of water tower was fairly common around that area. The MEAB tower can be found in another photo on this site.

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.
