TUNNEL, WARRANDYTE
Presenting the Pound Bend Tunnel at Warrandyte in Melbourne, Australia.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
Victoria became a separate colony from New South Wales in 1851. Around that same time, gold was discovered at Warrandyte, then known as Anderson's Creek; with additional finds elsewhere, the Victorian gold rush was born. The Yarra River was just one source of gold, and in 1870, the Evelyn Tunnel Gold Mining Company blasted a 196 metre long tunnel, in order to divert water from the 3.85 km section known as Pound Bend. The extraction of gold from the exposed river bed proved too difficult however, and the company collapsed after only a short existence. The dams that once prevented the water from flowing around the bend no longer exist, but the tunnel does, and its entrance can be viewed from Norman's Reserve, while its exit can be seen from Pound Bend Reserve.

Yarra River at Pound Bend, Warrandyte, Victoria, Australia
This is a favourite swimming spot, just a few Km out of Melbourne.... there's a tunnel, built late 19th century, from which water pours out .... this tunnel was made to divert water from the river on the other side of a horse-shoe bend, so that mining the gold was made easier .... sadly, it was a failure, & the mining company folded soon after.
