Re: [NSW] Tunnels

["nobody" <dweebken@NOSPAM.yahoo.com>]

There are also the tunnels under st james, the ARHS does tours of those from
ST james station. There is the "ghost train" walk down the south coast,
several unused tunnels there. Tunnel no.5 on the cowan bank is there (not
sure how accessible it is) then there is plat 26 and 27 at central, used for
storage. ARHS will have an entire archive on all existing and unused
tunnels.
