Urban Exploring: The Clarice Bunker

Hidden under carpet conceals a small hatch that gets you into The Clarice Bunker. Descending down a rusted ladder and levering open a small blast door reveals the multi-roomed subterranean space.

Thick 8″ steel blast doors shield you from explosions. Traversing the ceiling, the ventilation system recycles your air. Multiple storage tanks hold your water and diesel supply.

When bombs are dropping; when people are rioting and the grid is crumbling, places like this can protect you from the world outside. If WWIII breaks out or a natural disaster destroys everything in a blink of an eye, where do you plan to go?

Urban Exploring: Underwater World

Once one of Adelaide‘s premier nightclubs (offering alternative music and live shows), it now sits flooded and in darkness. The people that used this space have moved on. Their lives, having played out here, are now a distant memory. You can’t rewind time, but as an Urban Explorer you can breathe a kind of life back into these places,… and show there is true beauty in decay.

Urban Exploring: Bad Boy Bubby

Released in 1993, Australian film Bad Boy Bubby quickly rose to cult-like status. Joining many other films shot in Adelaide, it tells the story of Bubby, a man who has spent the first 35 years of his life locked in a disgusting basement by his abusive and controlling mother.

Several months after Bad Boy Bubby was completed, the film was entered in the 1993 Venice Film Festival. The film ‘tore the place down’. It instantly became an award-winning success.

Director Rolf de Heer used several locations around Port Adelaide for Bad Boy Bubby. The very same locations are regularly used by amateur photographers & videographers to perfect their craft.
