Going to add something amazing over the coming week. :)

For now, here's a sneak peek.

25th January 2008.

You would think that some one who has achieved what I have done in the field of Urban Exploration might have earned a bit of respect. I mean here are some of my achievements:

• This web site is one of the first about Urban Exploration on the Internet. It was probably the 4th or 5th and was definitely around before Ninjalicious's Infiltration web site.
• This is the longest running UE web site online.
• This is the second biggest Urban Exploration web site on the Internet. The first biggest, UER.ca being a group effort.
• I was the second to put videos of urban exploring on the Internet. The first site with UE videos is long gone.
• I was the first Australian Urban Explorer to suggest exploring the Paris Catacomb, and the first to explore them, though I was not an Urban Explorer at the time.
• I was the first Urban Explorer to do big overseas trips for exploring.
• I have made four massive overseas trips to explore, including three round the world ones.
• I was one of the first Urban Explorers to visit both the Paris Catacombs and Chernobyl.
• Despite being from Australia, I have have attended 4 OPEXs.
• I have explored over 200 drains in 12 countries.
• I have explored more abandoned underground rail stations than anyone else n the world.
• I have explored 3 abandoned and 1 semi active missile silos.
• I have explored more abandoned buildings tan I can remember including whole abandoned cities and towns.
• I have done all this despite constant damaging of my reputation by some members of the Cave Clan, and some other Urban Explorers, many of whom have never met me, and only spread rumors started by others.

Now you think that would earn me some respect. Instead I get idiots like Kowalski / Michael Cook in Canada constantly downplaying my achievements, and spreading outright lies about me. I've had enough. Clearly my achievements in UE are never going to be recognised, that's not an issue, I can handle that. But having idiots like Kowalski and his ilk deliberately lie and tell people I have made up these achievements, or that I have not explored things is pretty soul destroying.

4th December.

I've now been back from overseas for some time. I will get around to putting up information about my third round the world trip sooner or later.

I've decided to make a break from Urban Exploring for a while due to bad influences, such as people like Michael Cook / Kowalski from Toronto who is essentially a cyber bully. I have also moved the site to a new server and hosting service so that I can retake control over it.

It would be nice if people put aside rumors, put aside hate and thought a little before using the Internet. It would be nice if the world just cared a little more.

14th January 2007

I finally added some more stuff about my 2006 trip including OPEX86 pictures and Gilman.

18th August 2006

Well things have been very quiet on this web site for a long time. That is because the city I live in now is extremely boring and there is not much to explore here. But things are on the boil.

In August 2006 I went on a 2 week Urban Exploration trip to Hawaii, Denver, Vancouver where I attended OPEX 86 and finally LA. Details are being put online here. So far pictures from Hawaii and part of Denver are online.

Finally, I am planning a large Urban Exploration trip in 2007 around the world again, involving buying a van in Europe and traveling there before selling it and buying a van in AmeriCanadia and exploring there. I am starting an online Journal now that I am planning this new trip.
