National parks done a great job there by the looks of it. Its amazing how they built that railway when they did and im sure it was quick as well. Thanks for the video i need to visit again 👍
It sure is a fabulous piece of history. Amazing to think of all they did to construct this railway. It's definitely a much more peaceful place to visit now....if you get there before the crowds!
Nice to see all the work they have done out there. I personally haven't been yet but it is on the list. It really looks like a magical walk and to see the glow worms would be amazing.
Winter is a great time to camp out on the Plateau, if you are prepared and used to cold camping. If it is not windy, the days are stunning in the colder months.
Be prepared for the cold and you will be fine. It can get well into the sub zeros out on the Plateau in winter, did not reach that low June long weekend, was mild.
The Best Video Yet! 👍I also have been to some abandoned railway tunnels like there one I went to near this one called “Marrangaroo Tunnel” but thats on private property.
Thanks! It's such a great piece of history, and the upgrades to the track sure have made this walk much more accessible! Tunnels are always fun to explore and always have a story to tell!
Thanks for sharing the clips, to be honest I kind of regret not visiting it before the upgrades 😅 The concrete pathway inside the tunnel looks really bad 🤦♂
The new pathway is much safer, and it means that people now have more stable footing and aren't calling out, disturbing the glow-worms, every time they tread on a rock or in water. They new path only takes up half the tunnel, so the original path can still be viewed for the construction marvel this tunnel is.
@@shoesonmyfeet6056 ok in that case it makes sense, hopefully the glow worms were not disturbed while they were constructing this path as there was most likely lots of noise inside the tunnel during that time
I am sure NPWS did a study into the impact during construction. Having said that, a lot of the work was done in the cooler months, so less glow worms than summer. The path does make it more enjoyable, the handrail especially, you can lean up against it, turn your torch out and let the total darkness take over. The glow worms will start to appear quickly as your eyes adjust. We give the upgrade the thumbs up for this reason.
I went there today and it was amazing ! We hiked there and the view of the scenery was breath taking !
We are so glad you went out! The upgrades make this much more accessible. The views both inside the tunnel and out sure are fabulous!

For sure, national parks have done such a good job here, hopefully people respect it when they visit.
Get out there early and enjoy.
It's interesting to think of the old steam locomotives that used to travel through there hauling shale oil. Definitely more peaceful, and green, now.

Seems like a very special and beautiful spot, A1 again as always. 🦋✅
An amazing spot to visit, one to put on the list. Glad you enjoyed it.

They really have improved the area immensely, 2 thumbs up from us for sure. Get out there and enjoy it when you do!
@@shoesonmyfeet6056 Hopefully it wont be too long. Im really keen for some trips out that way, camping, hiking etc.

@@shoesonmyfeet6056 Yeah I'm not all that big on cold weather camping although I am hoping to do a little more of it this year.

Nice i was waiting for those to open up again. The horseshoe falls have been great at night, but good to have options.
The improvements are quite good, the raised walking track through the tunnel has made it easier and safer. Can get very busy though.
Awesome!👍 Been there a few times, but not since the upgrades. I’ll be sure to check it out.
Worth the drive, we love the improvements that have been made.
Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing. 👍1
Thanks so much, glad you liked it.

Thanks for sharing. How long is the walk from the carpark to the tunnel?
An easy, reasonably flat walk of 15 to 20 minutes, more if you stop to look around.

it was a good place to go 40 years ago , it was a real adventure ,too touristy now and too many people
Yes, have been coming here for about the same amount of years, yes, it gets very busy, we went early to dodge the crowds.
Ancient complex ruins 💕
It is auch an amazing place to visit and see Glowworms.
Do you need 4wd to reach the car park?
No, in dry conditions, and driving to the road conditions, a normal car is fine. After rain, the road will be a mess.
