Debrief: 

This tunnel is definitely worth a look. The dirt track from the carpark is a bit confusing however as long as you follow the main track you will end up arriving at the tunnel. Once you walk through the historic tunnel, on the other side you reach lots of signs full of information about the history of the tunnel. There is then a pathway that leads you behind the suburban houses which runs for about a 2km return. This path will extend your walk to the 3km mark, so if you are looking for a longer walk this section would be for you.
