An Incomplete Review of

Sydney's Construction Crane

...What does it feel like to climb a construction crane in Sydney...

feat. @milkshake.zzz  

date. 2017

city. Turramurra, Sydney

 

Location:

 

Turramurra Heysen

Review:

 

The construction site and crane here are relatively cleaner compare to those in China, so you won’t need to worry about shoes getting dirty. The ladder has a smooth surface, you can hold on to it easily without any safety gloves. Spider webs are everywhere during the first half of the journey, not recommended for those who are scared of spiders. 

 

The overall strength and solidity of the crane is worse than those in China, not suitable for people with heavier weight. Beginner-level height. OK view at the top with no obstruction in the surrounding area. Typical scenic view of Australia’s nature, suitable for a leisure sunbathe or chill-out at dusk or dawn, can also see Sydney Tower in the distance. 

 

Sydney construction sites are usually well-guarded in weekdays, but in weekends it becomes another story. The outer walls are easy to climb over, suitable for Urbex beginners.

 

Overall Rating:

(max. 5 stars)

Degree of Cleanliness:  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Level of Height:            ⭐️⭐️

Difficulty to sneak in:     ⭐️

Safety index:               ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Scenery evaluation:      ⭐️⭐️⭐️

 

P.S.: Next door is a tennis court, there are teenagers using their ‘prehistoric powers’ to play tennis. They will also randomly yell out excitedly, make you think you have been spotted. Please distinguish carefully and don’t panic when you are on the crane.
