Possibly Adelaide’s most decorated tunnels, Zorgas Tomb is painted with well over 200 graffiti and street artworks.
About 800m in is a large junction — take the right most fork. Continuing on it turns into a back-breaker. You may choose to turn back here but for those more adventurous; you’ll get to see where it ends.
Electra House has sat vacant for 18 years. It was built in 1901 for the Citizens’ Life Assurance Company then later used as a telegraph exchange, a Post Master General’s technicians’ school, and a telecommunications museum.
It still contains Adelaide’s FIRST electric lift which was installed in 1905. Take a look at the pictures!…
Just up the South Eastern Freeway is the Littlehampton Twin tunnel system.
The eastern-most tunnel is a concrete box culvert stormwater tunnel. What’s most intriguing about this tunnel is the old telegraph wiring traversing the full length of the ceiling.
The second western-most tunnel is a 96m long ARMCO railway tunnel — the SteamRanger’s only tunnel! It was installed when the South Eastern Freeway was built and replaced an open rail cutting known as McGrath’s Cutting.
