Well a quiet Saturday night has not been wasted, i just discovered (on an over adventurous trip to the bins downstairs) that i can access the rooftop of my apartment building.
There is a little deck up there and everything. There is a big sign that says "No Unauthorized Personnel" but the door is unlocked so i figured it was fair game. Tomorrow i'll go rooftop sunbaking with a good book, or parhaps i'll go do some drawing in the quiet. ahhh, i have always dreamed of living in a block that i can get onto the roof.

So long as you don't get locked out there!
surely yr authorised? does it require a key? how ace, you can have al fresco dinner parties
That would be radness.
I know! im really excited. i guess i just have to make sure i take my mobile, in case i get locked up there or something. I'd say dinner might have to wait till i can be sure my guests and i wont be rudely interupted by the body corporate.
I'm not sure if it has a keyhole, i didnt think so, so it might not even lock.
woo, im all dizzy, i've been living here a year already!
So exciting! Did you get butterflies when you went exploring?
Yeah. Do these look familiar?
THE SECRET LIFE OF US
yes, i got butterflies... i was so excited when i found it. I'd love to go up there and chill out now, but its kinda chilly and windy outside today, typical.
That sure is an adventurous trip downstairs that leads you to the roof.
Has it got a railing around it? Or just the deck?
nope railing, a ledge about a meter and a half tall. its not too pretty but its damn cool, views of the yarra and crown.
Any Plants?
Gross. Crown is horrible.
I had some nice views of the bay end of the Yarra yesterday, from the mess of a survey ship I was visiting. So cool. I think I want to be a seafarer.
Actually, no I don't. No drinking on board, and they go out for a month at a time.
a dead pot plant that looks like someone just took it out there to get rid of it. Its pretty dull, but i'm not fussy. it looks like your not supposed to be up there, i just want it for chilling out and reading, sunbaking with a friend, maybe a glass of booze with the boyfriend...
it's like yr own private madame brussels. all you need is some astroturf and sponsorship from big tobacco!
ha ha! yeah! it looks alot like that minus all the astro turf and hot gay guys.
And no one to light your fags, and bring you blankets when it gets a bit chilly.
im only a couple of floors back down, i'll survive doing it myself.
No way. You need servants.
looks for telescope..
I was talking about rooftop access a couple of days ago. One of my favourite things to do is finding old office buildings in the city where you can go roofing. Fun + adventure.
i know! i love that stuff.
So, hey....party on yr roof, kristy!
ha ha, yeah right.
take some photos and show the world. Or at least the 5% with internet access.
sure, i'll certainly do that. they'll be on my flickr before the day is through.
will you take me there on a ladydate?
yes, if you like... we have to be quiet.
i promise. rad.
i am being taken on a rooftop hunt soon. i'll let you know of any others that we find.
yeah! i love that stuff.
hopefully i won't get a mad desire to jump off one.
The place where I stayed in New York (a friend's apartment on 16th St) had rooftop access. I spent my first night in town up there, out of my mind on 'shrooms.........welcome to Noo Yawk!
oh my, thats way better, New York Rooftop.
my rooftop isnt as cool as that, but then its not in New York, i'll go up there tonight and take some pics.
So anyone know any good buildings in Melbourne city that you can access the roof of...???
My office building- 15 floors up.
Invite only, sorry, mate.
soo...is there some kind of inverse cave clan for rooftop access?
I remember going to the top of some comish flats early one morning to see the sunrise with a mate after having a fairly... festive... night. He was convinced it would be easy to get onto the roof. Suffice to say it's not and you can't.
