| | | Posted by NinjaKlutz Here's a bizarre story, one which i shall be eagerly investigating. My friend Mathias Weedhead was out around the mount Tolmie area. He was somewhat high on several substances, but DEFINITELY NOT anything hard or hallucinatory. He knows his drugs very well, and he knows that what happened was very real. He and a friend walked into a low lying wooded area, and by sheer fluke luck, saw a tunnel entrance. Just there, open, right in front of them. Like a door going into the rock/hill. They walked in. Apparently it was like the Burrow of the Beast in shape, but it was a tunnel--no trace of water. And they went along walking through there for a good half-hour before turning around and walking back because they were tired. Mathias knew i've been trying to get in the storm drains, so he asked me if i recognized this tunnel. I looked at him as if he were Dumbo. The one problem here is that my friend was walking around a LOT that day, and wasn't sure just quite where that low-lying wooded area was (and NOT bowker creek!); but he figures it was near Mount Tolmie. Now that he's not on weed, he really wants to get back in, and i'm dying of curiosity. So we will be scouring the area, searching....searching...... Damn. This is the last thing i need. There's too much stuff to investigate/explore in Victoria!!!Gaaahhhhhhhhhrgljsdfjgdijisdsefdeeeaaatttthhhhhh
| Last winter I started looking for this location, unfortunately it was too shitty out to stomp around in the wet cold bush.. So I decided to put this story on the back burner. I may start flirting with trying to locate this place once again now that it's summer...whenever I get some free time. Cheers

| | | So something pretty interesting happened last night! Brandon250, Hacktheripper, htp123 and i decided to go check out the beast again. About 20 feet in i noticed a brick missing from the top. I shined my light up into it and noticed there was a big open space with the ceiling at least 8 feet from the top of the beast. Instantly i was very curious as to what this was. So i stuck my hand up into it to try and get a few pictures and this is what i saw. 1. 2. So now i am completely lost as to what this could be. Obviously some sort of tunnel that is running on top of and parallel to the beast. But why and what would it have been for? Time to do some research and exploring to see if we cant get into it. Curious now if anyone knew about this or has any idea why its there or what its for?

| | | Sorry for the off-topic post, this is neither a secret nor a tunnel, but I think it isn't well known and it is under the garden city and so seems to fit with the general theme of this thread. If you check current municipal maps of railroads in Victoria, you'll notice that there are abandoned rail lines indicated all over the place; up Hillside, down Government, through Fernwood and Fairfield. I confirmed with a city worker that the reason they are still on the maps is because some of them are still under the roads. When Victoria converted from rails to roads, most of the rails were simply filled in and paved over. They are still occasionally dug up during road work. As luck would have it, that seems to have just happened. Excuse the poor picture, hard to stop there during the day with all the traffic. I'm guessing the concrete section underneath it is because the whole place was actually over the water (note the harbour just south of 'FREIGHT SHED') and so probably build on stilts before the whole area was eventually filled in. There is also a very inviting little hatch, that seems to possibly have actually been below current street level. Anyone know if this connects to what I think it does?

| Interesting, Your first pic looks like something similar that I took which I sent to Brandon250 a few months ago. Gj!!!
