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.

Exploring Mt Lofty, Warrandyte State Park

The views from Mt Lofty, in the Warrandyte State Park, 30 km east of the Melbourne CBD, are superb. On the day of my visit, February 23 2009, where I completed a 3 km circuit hike, serious bushfires continued to burn across Victoria and in the mountains near to Melbourne.

1 Day in Melbourne

Had to go to Melbourne for a conference. I was only there 20 hours, so not much time to film. Next time I'm definitely going for a longer walk through those amazing streets!
