Welcome to GLDR's home Wink This tunnel is affectionately known to us as Linebacker. Just outside the exit shown here, there's a tunnel that branches off to the left which heads off about another 500m, known as Arc Light.

What is GLDR? Was also wondering if there was public access to maps / plans of the drainage system under Ballarat?

No idea what GLDR is, but the drain is pretty easy to find. Have a scout around near the trainstation. Once you find it you'll quickly be able to work out where the other tunnels are.

Oh sorry, I'm aware of where the drains are. I was curious as to whether there were maps available as I'm interested in maps etc I've never tried asking for this sort of thing... are they generally public access?

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.
