Melissa and Shane bought the 126 Wickham Street property in 2016 and transformed it into an event venue with a difference. Originally the X Lubritorium Factory, this one-of-a-kind space had no plumbing or electricity, burnt out front windows, termite damage and needed major restoration work.
The smoky building has been refurbished and now hosts events, art exhibitions, private parties, corporate meetings and many other activities that need a unique backdrop.
