Default Abandoned warehouse / building in Victoria for car photography?

I would like to take some photos of my car inside an old factory, warehouse or abandoned building ruins in Victoria.

Preferably within 150 Kms radius from the CBD, so I am prepared to travel to rural areas if necessary.

Does anyone know where I could find something similar to the example photos below, which of course I can gain entry to with a car.

I am happy to seek permission from private property owners if needed and even pay a small fee.

I know I could simply photoshop my car into an image of an old warehouse I could find in stock photos, as I am handy with photo editing software, but I want to capture the car under real lighting / shadow and reflection conditions.

Thanks

This sounds cool. Id love to do something like this as well....
Id imagine acess would be a challenge though with many abandoned places being difficult to het into.... espaexially with lowered cars and not to mention unsealed roads to get anywhere near the premises.

Aircraft hangars would be nuts for this type of thing as well.

Seems like there is a lot of empty warehouses around Broadmeadows including the one that used to build cars with blue ovals.
Seymour has a few old buildings not in use. There's railway museum sheds there as well which I reckon would be cool as a backdrop.

Great idea, however it's illegal.

I have been wanting to take LTDHO for years.

Nope. Engine plant is supposed to be still full and the other plants are only a fraction of the way to being stripped out. People don't understand how much of a monumental task it is clearing them out. They are massively large and complex and will take years to strip, then they need to be environmentally remediated. It's a massive job.
