Vent Fan Type:Acrylic its walls rusted through decadesA large vent fan enclosed in green mesh caging sits in a low ceilinged basement space at Awaba Colliery, its housing marked with 'Services Pty Ltd' text. A red danger sign on the nearest brick column reads 'Danger No Smoki', partially cut off. Behind it, a teal industrial unit and a dark drill press with coiled hoses fill out the workshop floor. Part of the Awaba Colliery series.
