Any chance of entry points for this tunnel Wink)

It's been sealed up and it's largely flooded.

I used to go down there when I was a kid. I knew a guy that had a Boat shed on the Balmain. side too.

one of the few tunnels i couldn't find in balmain when i lived there as a kid. Still haven't seen any photos of the elliot street cavern yet though.

Your pictures are a great historical record. I live nearby and have always wondered what the tunnel looked like.

thanks BT. Not everybody can get to see these locations first hand, and i completely understand why most of them are secured and hidden. However i think it is important that places such as this at the very least get documented, before they get backfilled.

It's heritage listed - no-one would dare backfill it.

UrbanTwilight...
UrbanTwilight is photographing the underground tunnels, abandoned buildings, rooftops, and hidden industry that most people would never normally get to see. The images contained on this site have been shot in Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Hobart, and countless country locations inbetween. Nearly all have been taken in low to very-low lighting conditions, and most on Canon digital equipment.


The Julia Farr Home for Incurables

After sitting vacant for more than 30 years, the Julia Farr Hospital's 'Home for Incurables' has finally been demolished. Urbantwilight hid a camera on the roof of a neighbouring bulding and filmed the 4 week demolition process. Checkout the timelapse video.

UrbanTwilight turns 10 this year so I've finally made some time between the tunnels and abandoned buildings (and my day job) to make a few improvements around the place. The images are bigger, the old ones have been colour corrected, and a handful have been given the flick. Most importantly there's a whole new section called 'Archives' - You should check it out from time to time, you never know what you might find.

The Funnel

An expedition report of sorts, this has been hiding on Urbantwilight for years. 'The Funnel', 'The Pothole', 'Skate or die'. Whatever you choose to call it, this place is awe-inspiring.
