Location

Back lot of a building in an industrial zone, Warragul, Victoria, Australia

Participants

thunk

Plans

Initially wrote this off as satellite imagery made the field appear like the interior of the building. But on closer inspection, this turned out to be false. So I went. And drew up a sketched map, since this was close enough to structures so that no GPS would be necessary to confirm I have been there.

Expedition

Left my hideaway at about 10:30 am with picnic bag and a refusal to look at mapping applications. Walked to train station; realised next train leaves in 1.5 hours. Oh well. I got on there, then off to Warragul. There, it was a short walk to the industrial building (the gate was unlocked), and I planted my colourful plastic tableware in the middle of some toxic-looking grass. This was obviously not the best place for a picnic, so I ate quickly. Then I looked around town, dispatched a burger and the rest of my soda bottle while walking around the center and a nearby park to the south, and then got on the train west... to Port Bay, because I seem to be inexplicably fond of beaches this week. And then I went home, because it was getting late. Though I had to use batteries to find the bus timetables at that point.

Photos

Coming soon.
