Bradman's career Test batting average of 99.94 has been cited as the greatest achievement by any sportsman in any major sport.The story that the young Bradman practised alone with a cricket stump and a golf ball is part of Australian folklore.

Abandoned Railway Tunnel - Tracks & Signal Boxes Still Intact! ------ Underground Urban Exploration

After nearly impaling my self of the spikey fence I made it into the tunnel. It's not often you explore an old railway tunnel that still has the tracks down, so although a short tunnel, there's alot more to see. Half way through there's a rather large air shaft. Some parts of the tunnel were quite difficult to film/photograph due to a lack of air, there was alot of floating fog around and the it just caused my torch to create a beam.
