I have never been into it myself but know many who have and one who has slept there for a week or so. To get there turn right at the roundabout into helensville off of the main highway, you will cross a bridge over a river then the road will rise and swing left over another little bridge onto the main road of helensville. The four or so abandoned factories are just before the second bridge on the left. They are full of differant rooms, old dairy shit and are each a fe stories i think. I will definetly go there and snap a few photos soon as i venture out there very often. Not that dairy factories are particularly exciting but it is big and very abandoned so its cool just to get it known to other explorers for somewhere new!

—-—-—-MISSION COMPLETE -—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—

So took a trip out to hell on friday/saturday. Stayed with my buddy Lord Grymspire as i usually do, got some beers and prepared for an exploration the next morning. The morning came and we walked down (2 mins away score!) took the back way by the train tracks so no cars or anyone could see us. Jumped a small fence and we were in! This place is HUGE , there are about 6/7 buildings to be explored all with about 10 plus rooms in each, multiple stories, walls of tagging, holes and other shit. One of the main structures was a dairy processing factory, another a butter production company and one made frizbees at one point haha. There is alot of old butter containers and frizbeez around. We stayed for around two hours going up and down random stairways and constantly findign little rooms way up high and little dodgy walkways to hidden rooms! The floors and covered thick with computer waste, broken glass, bits of gib and the expected. You can get some great over-veiws when you get up high in the place. There is even a few doors about 30 feet up which you cant get to as the stairs to them have been removed. I couldnt recomend this place more, easy as to get in, easy to escape from (not that we had to) and alot of odds and ends to see. Will definetly be back next weekend to make sure we covered it all.

      It should be autodetecting the closest township, I’ll have a play
around with it tonight and see if I can get better results.

    Cheers Piggy, I couldn’t find it on the map ;) I went three weekends
ago, and something’s going down there man. The first weird thing was a guy
inexplainably painting white paint over heavily decayed and graffitied walls.
Then there was the two security guards, they were out the front side by the main
road, but I don’t think they were watching the building itself, but these
two peices of industrial machinary parked out the front. So if you go you should
enter from the back by the river, if you keep going up the main road and around
the corner to where the gas station is, there’s a way around. Well worth a
look, there’s concrete pits, staircases, multiple buildings with multiple
stories, and a few secrets also =)

    Yeah i had a gander driving past last week and saw some builder like cats
taking pictures of it. I have heard rumours of it being flattened so better get
in there quick. Thanks on the tips for getting in warlust!

    Yeah, I saw a thread on ‘helensville.co.nz’ where the locals were
joking about what to turn it into after it’s been bowled over. And since
they’re moving equipment in and getting security guards, I’d say
it’s on. You should go this weekend! Still dosen’t explain why that
guy was painting over the graffiti though! hehe. Do you know any other places up
North man? I know fuck all about that region…
