FYI, There was once a book written about this tunnel, and i got a copy (called The first hourbour tunnel)

"Sydney's First Harbour Tunnel" by James Dargan? I'll have to track a copy down.

do u know the location of the entracnce to this tunnel..is it in manns point?
|

There was a 60ft verticle (ventallation / equiptment) shaft made from near manns point while the tunnel was being constructed. I'm pretty sure it was sealed after the tunnel was finished. If it does still exist, the only way in would be on ropes, and the bottom would be underwater. The southern entrance is inside a secure private property, and the northern side has been filled with rubbish and sealed in recent years.

thats such a shame...i live in greenwich and ive heard stories of this tunnel...but they just sweep these sought of thiings under the carpet..they should restore it as a cave diving location or something

A few guys dived it in the mid 80's but encountered problems caused by the confined spaces and greater than normal depths (76 meters in the horizontal section). Anything would be better than just sealing it off, but it does do wonders for the mystic and rumours surrounding the place.

When you're going up the road into Manns Pt there is a large concrete slab on your right that is where there was a green shed that was the entrance. It was cool to go in there but now gone.

|
|

thats fuckin unreal
|
|
|||
so let the straight facts fly or howbout a tour for newbies interested in this?

The slab is no longer visible. It looks like the council has covered it up. I guess it can only be accessed from the Balmain side....Another comment on another image says it was filled with rubbish within the last few years and sealed. It should be noted that the tunnel is heritage listed.

It's still sealed and probably will be for a very long time. The last I looked all signs of the entrance were gone.
