Tunnel Rats

If i ever get a call at eight in the morning it is usually MYER, as it is raining and he can't work, anyway... there is a dead train line that runs all through these parts and he has been exploring all the tunnels, most of them have been painted, but he found a virgin...

So i get this call "are you able to paint today" I am always keen, and it is always fun with this lad. "Bring a back pack mate you wont be able to carry any crates where we are going". Alright sweet, so i rock up to meet him and we drive off in his car into the bush, we stop on this road and walk over to the edge of this big drop, "it's down there mate". Your fuckin kidding!!! this hill was very steep. About 100m down i could just make out a train line.

So off we go... the first bit was easy then we hit the hell steep section where it was all clay, luckily there were trees every where so we just slid from tree to tree. We ended up above the tunnel entrance and MYER slid down the side, he slipped and fell like 15 metres on his ass, but he was fine...

After that ordeal and the fact that it had been raining solid for two weeks all the walls in the tunnel were soaked and still dripping... it was to late we were there to paint so we did, i took some shots then my camera ran out of batteries... what a comedy of errors...

We painted, the wall was wet, i could have rubbed my piece off the wall... but it was hell fun, i managed to squeeze a pic out at the end before my camera packed it in...
