Box Freestone Quarry

Part 2

 

We were now at the Eastern extreme of the Quarry and heading down 'Wind Tunnel'.

 

Someone was trying to keep us out...

 

Beyond this metal fence was Spring Quarry, home of the secret 'Burlington' government bunker.

 

Through we went!

 

At the end of the tunnel the air was bad, (high in carbon dioxide), which made breathing difficult, and also instantly fogged up the camera's lens. We didn't stick around for long.

 

Behind this door lurks government secrets and military police. We didn't bang on it as being arrested or shot would have put a slight dampener on the day.

 

More barbed wire to protect the military areas.

 

No-one can keep us out!

 

The cables on the wall were for CCTV cameras. Good job someone had stolen the cameras!

 

 

Brewers Drift. This was a giant military built passage, used to feed air into Spring Quarry and Burlington.

 

The pillars were intended to be encased in concrete, but it was abandoned before work finished. This is the metal form that concrete would have been poured into.

 

Not sure this would pass modern safety tests.

 

Max back out in the main quarry.
