The abandoned South Fremantle Power Station in North Coogee was opened in 1951 after five years of construction to power a growing Perth and Fremantle metropolis. Employing over 250 people at its peak, the station was eventually closed after advances in technology deemed it uneconomical.
Shot on the Canon 7D with the Sigma 10-20mm f3.5.

Hi Dirk Nienaber The virtual tour took visitors all over the interior including the upper galleries. As the power station is very popular the tour received a huge number of views. I suppose they felt that I was encouraging others to enter, which I was not as places like that are dangerous and only those prepared to face the dangers should think about entering. I of course go to all sorts of places. Here is one that you can visit from your armchair: barneymeyer.com/brickworks-adventure/ Regds, Barney

Very well done! I published an extensive 3D virtual tour walking through the building but the owners recently threatened me with legal action if I did not take it down. I guess that it's going to change hands and be redeveloped into a ghastly shopping mall, at which time people may appreciate what it looked like in the past.

Barney Meyer Crikey! What were their reasons for threatening legal action?

I saw inside too! It's awesome. But why they don't like it to be shown to the public? It's abandoned place. Why not make some used of it.

+Hailin Jiang It's a heritage site really. Also there are numerous health & safety issues. For starters, the building is riddled with asbestos. Inhale even one of those fibres and you could be looking at lung cancer 10 years down the track.

Hey there, I would love to shoot there. I have a few questions regarding the security. Did you come into contact with any police/security. If so, did they let you continue shooting? And if you didn't, what time of the week/time of day did you go to avoid them? Thanks so much
