70 Year Old Abandoned Power Station by Drone

- HIGH IN THE DUNES OF C.Y. O’Connor Beach stands a monument of urban decay and days of an industry gone by. The ruins of the South Fremantle Power Station have stood empty since 1985, home only to urban explorers and street artists.
Opened in 1951, the power station was once a pillar of progress for the expanding energy demands of Perth. Here it stood proud and strong for 34 years, supplying energy to its surrounding metropolis until 1985 when it was deemed to no longer be worth the money. The doors were shuttered, and the plant’s four tall chimney stacks were demolished, leaving the rest of the plant to rot by the sea.
It now lies empty. All evidence of a working station are gone and what remains now is just the shell. But what a stunning shell it is. The windows that once gleamed with life and industry reach several stories high. They are now the shattered and rusting eyes of a ghost; a spirit who looks out over the pristine coastline below.
Inside, the walls which once contained the hustle and bustle of daily working life now are covered in magnificent displays of artwork from the large to the scribbly. The floors, with no workers to keep them swept, are now a minefield of spray cans, broken glass, and rubble. Only the once majestic stairwell has managed to retain some semblance of dilapidated elegance.
According to some explorers, a network of tunnels also still exists beneath the ruins. They say some tunnels take you to the beach, while others are rumored to take you to the center. Given the site’s proximity to the sea, if there are tunnels beneath the plant, they would be a possible death trap.
The ruins rest on private property that is sometimes patrolled by security guards, but the ruins can be viewed from afar.

Cool footage, I like exploring these type of places 👍💥💯
Yeah i haven't flown here for a while, quite a bit of history and future plans for this old gutted Heritage building
Nice bit of old history there Dave. Apparently someone wants to tell the work that they went to the gym today.... 🏅😉👍👊✔🍻
Yeah bit of a back history on this one at the South Fremantle/Coogee beach. LOL and yep that message cracked me up when i first saw it! 😂👍
Nice #shorts flight. 🙏👍🙏
Thanks Ray, I may go and revisit this place again end of summer 👍
These are very nice shots of this old plant, according to the history of it, the plant was opened the year that I was born. Good job as always David.
Where’s the ghost hunting team, I seen a video where someone has gone inside of that building, I think it was a few years ago. Pretty cool looking building.
Great one bro place and music is epic 👌🏽😍
Thanks man, i must revisit this power station again sometime 👍
A very eerie-looking place there mate!
Yeah theres a few stories behind this powerstation bro since its been abandoned, not allowed in there to explore now
Great place for some FPV freestyle training! 😊
"I went to the gym today, tell everyone!" XD
Nice footage of the old power plant, but why does it look like you took it with your cell phone?
This is a youtube #short story video so its made for watching on the CZcams APP on your cellphone, thanks for watching Ron
It's cropped footage from my A3 flight a couple years ago
I like this 👊🏻👍🏻
Cheers for watching Cam👍
This is such a cool video!
I just finished watching the new video of the helicopter and this was the next one.
What drone did you use to shoot this, and from reading the comments it sounded like you have been inside this place before. Is it creepy or what?
Hi Marc I filmed this video with my Fimi A3 drone a couple years back, unfortunately I haven't been inside because these days there are heaps of security patrols around the building as there has been a few deaths there of people falling from the top stories while exploring it.
Wish I was in WA, would love to rip that place in fpv
Yeah its pretty awesome , heaps of graffiti murals inside as well, look up South Freo Power station videos here on CZcams
