3:00PM - Malabar Abandoned WWII Coastal Defence Site: Part 1
Kim told me upon this hidden away gem he stumbled on previously, after some digging on the net it turned to be a former World War 2 defence site, the site features:

    * A rare example of 6 inch Mark XII gun mountings;
    * Underground bunker with gun crew ready rooms;
    * Ammunition supply and engine room;
    * Small gauge sunken railway and sandstone lined cutting of a tramway; and
    * An observation post.

We were unable to ride our bike into the site so we locked them up on a light pole in a nearby car-park and started our trek by foot into the compound. After walking on a seaside path (where I took the panorama below) for around thirty minutes we stumbled upon to the first mystery building on the compound...

Satisfied with our photos we continued on the path to stumbled along an narrow-gauge abandoned railway line, in many places excessive sand runoff and vegetation growth made it difficult to pass...

Nevertheless, we struggled on eager to see where the railway line would lead us, we found a station of sorts, its contents now empty and replaced instead with toilet paper, garbage and graffiti...
