- 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.

If anyone was wondering why its such a dangerous place to go, because a photographer similar to whom your watching ventured in the building a few years ago and fell to is death.
Wtf how did he fall from where in the building?
@@demonetizedhistory5806 Inside the building its fairly open and the railings no longer exist, a few people have died here.
@@jac4423 mate I put this place up on my insta and apparently a lot of my friends already know about the plant and dubbed it as "power house". They've been telling me it's very dodgy that side like if I wanna go just don't climb anything and I'll be fine as well as not to go into the tunnels under the building cuz there could be homeless and whacko dudes who wanna shank u!
@@demonetizedhistory5806 Dont worry about the shanking the floor is very unstable in certain sections and alot of dodgy areas just be smart.
@@demonetizedhistory5806 it is a power house, thats what it was built for it was a power plant and was de commissioned.
What's the security like there now? I've been wanting to do a bit of urban exploration there but I don't want to be told to fk off by security guards xD
Security was there in a car but I wa only allowed to film outside
The underground tunnels are safe to explore
Thank for watching and subscribing Frank. Really appreciate it
