Originally, planners dreamed of a vast underground network, but the Great Depression stopped them. Now, meticulous restoration efforts will unveil these tunnels to the public shortly.

Minister for Transport John Graham showcased the $1 million project’s importance recently. He noted these tunnels reflect the city’s rise as a modern, global hub.

Moreover, Graham stressed that these tunnels belong to NSW residents, not just archives. Consequently, transforming them into a lively public space thrills both locals and officials.

Tours will guide adventurers through soggy passages, sharing the city’s rich transport past. And this immersive adventure promises to enchant everyone who ventures below.
