Explorer_Jade   [Jan 21, 2008 at 02:12 PM]
Hey there, nice shots. I especially enjoy the Radelaide shots. I have to get around to emailing the Adelaide Clan. I must join.
radar~ray   [Jan 23, 2008 at 06:50 PM]
yeh how do u get onto roof tops cause there usually locked and if u can get out most times u cant get back in
Explorer_name   [Jan 28, 2008 at 01:50 PM]
make copys of the exit door keys??????
Wizard   [Jan 29, 2008 at 03:46 AM]
There are alot of ways onto a roof. I can't recall ever using a key though. I've heard it suggested that a serious roofer requires only two items - A helicopter and a rope. Smile

Thanks I'm from sydney and when I saw the notice I was hoping to see some pics on here. if the hospital people can't find an entrance (you think theye'd have an old map) I thought maybe the clan had stumbled on it

@ Doc, regarding the bunker. A freind of mine works at the repat and says they're looking for the entrance to the old bunker that was buried years ago, part of the repats history

Wizard   [Oct 13, 2010 at 06:49 PM]
Flinders Uni were doing some digging around the Daw Park repat hospital a couple of years back, but failed to find the entrance.

The Cave clan were approached for any information that they could provide, but they claimed not to know of a way in.
Explorer_Enigma   [Nov 22, 2010 at 11:10 PM]
Working in Gawler Place, the building's sub basement was constantly getting flooded due to an underground river\well crossing through the city. Flooding is all fixed since the pumps were faulty. Anyway, would someone like to shed some light on the topic Question As I imagine something like this would interferer with tunnels. BTW Great website, photos are fantastic. Going to have to ask my Grandfather about the march to the train station back in WWII. That a lot of people seem to post about Idea
Wizard   [Nov 23, 2010 at 04:38 AM]
I don't know of any underground water flow across Gawler place, but there was probably more than a few wells around there. Which building do you work in Enigma? (you can email me if you'd rather no mention it here - wzard @t cave clan .dot. org)

Keen as to get involved, I know of old tram, train lines, and all the tunnels under CBD but have no idea how to get in >.< I'm keen as to jump in, email me?
Explorer_Debugnus   [Jan 08, 2011 at 10:20 PM]
Great shot!! Smile
Explorer_Macka   [Jan 19, 2011 at 09:39 PM]
I know n elevator technician who has told me of a river under Toys R Us in the city, this is probably the same one as Gawler place. Apparrently last year the pumps broke down and caused problems. I believe he said pump faults were regular
Explorer_Mark   [Feb 19, 2011 at 05:10 PM]
I'm trying to get info, maps etc of the underground caverns in Adelaide. This is the underground version of the river Torrens. I know of people who have gone from the RAH building to the now demolished Advertiser buildings and at places is very deep and wide to the suburb of Prospect which is close to the service. During the early settlement of Adelaide the 'Morialta' tribe was sipposed to have been murdered and their bodies dumped there at Prospect. email me at
Wizard   [Feb 19, 2011 at 06:33 PM]
You are kidding right? If someone actually told you that they were lying.
Explorer_Rafael   [Mar 11, 2011 at 06:15 PM]
Done a few drains, I am interested in doing more roof tops though. Find me through Adelaide parkour.
Explorer_Retail   [Mar 21, 2011 at 12:57 PM]
I work at Woolies in RundleMall our basement is always flooding even on dry days, so there may be smoething there?
Explorer_Tanya   [Mar 27, 2011 at 05:06 PM]
Mark, I think the idea of an underground tunnel system in Adelaide is an urban myth. Apparently there used to be a tunnel going under frome road used for cattle transport and later for WWII / quarantine transport troops but was completely backfilled. There are old chambers and vaults underground in the city somewhere in one of the official buildings but they are still active. I can't find anything else to back up the idea of a tunel network -although I would love to be proven wrong!
Wizard   [Mar 30, 2011 at 06:28 PM]
It's far too easy for people to believe stories of fantsy-like underground cities. Tanya's got her head on straight.
Explorer_maddi   [Apr 20, 2011 at 08:56 AM]
my grandfather used to work in the repat could ask if he knos way in Cool
Explorer_maddi   [Apr 20, 2011 at 09:00 AM]
been in tunnels under treasury buiding 4 history week, real scary got locked in dark room although this one is not haunted i was still freaked
Explorer_Sam   [May 03, 2011 at 05:01 PM]
The site next to The Repat has a very strange water table, water level gets lower as you get towards the hospital, contact me at samrholden@gmail.com for more info.
Explorer_flakefrost   [Jun 05, 2011 at 07:20 PM]
I do a lot of "exploring", because I'm a boiler service technician... I have been in hundreds of plant rooms aroud adelaide... most big buildings need a boiler for their airconditioning requirements... Sometimes these plant rooms are on rooftops Laughing
McMuffins   [Jun 26, 2011 at 02:44 PM]
Reminds me of Oceans 11. Great photo.
doc   [Sep 01, 2011 at 12:55 AM]
The a4 poster asked for info to the underground entrances & said it was believed to be wards as well as operating theatres below the site
Explorer_DW   [Oct 07, 2011 at 09:29 AM]
Can anyone recommend a good rooftop in Adelaide CBD that has views out into the country from all directions.? Looking for somewhere to hold a media launch.
Explorer_me   [Nov 27, 2011 at 10:15 PM]
access to tunnels by adelaide university and torrens river. nearest manhole
Explorer_Alhi   [Jan 27, 2012 at 12:56 PM]
Underground tunnels, could be true. Adelaide was built for war, I'm guessing there'd be somewhere they meet up. Perhaps a bomb shelter type thing. I'd be interested to find out if my suspicions are true. Afterall they're in melbourne, why not lil' adelaide?
Explorer_Bra   [Feb 29, 2012 at 11:54 AM]
Smashed up st peters tunnels through zorgs tomb n shit came up a manhole behing bath hotel shits fucked any other (...)s been ther
Kniaz   [Mar 09, 2012 at 05:41 PM]
Zorg's Tomb? I think you've confused Eli's Tomb with Zorga's V, haha... I'd be a little confused if you went from St Peter's Twins through to Eli's Tomb, haha. Never been to the end of Zorga's V, though, nor have I ever climbed up a manhole. Where did you come out exactly?
Wizard   [Mar 09, 2012 at 06:13 PM]
V, eli's tomb, zogra's tomb. They're all drains.
Kniaz   [Mar 10, 2012 at 01:40 AM]
Zogra's tomb? That's a new one for me. Adelaide as well? If so I've spent too much time living under a roof, I need to go live under some rocks!
Wizard   [Mar 10, 2012 at 03:00 AM]
I think we all need to do that sometimes Kniaz.
Explorer_Pman.   [Aug 20, 2012 at 11:38 PM]
Can anyone help e with some places? email hot mail dot com
Explorer_Memo   [Sep 13, 2012 at 09:25 PM]
Hoq do you get up here? Please do tell! Or is it those Pirie Street apartments now?
Wizard   [Sep 13, 2012 at 09:35 PM]
This is on King william st. The building has been significantly redeveloped now.
Explorer_onewhoknows   [Aug 13, 2013 at 01:53 AM]
I used to work at the Repat, I know where the tunnels and bunkers there are, the entrances are all around you if you know where to look. Wink
Explorer_jk   [Aug 16, 2013 at 10:45 AM]

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.

14/02/13
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.
