Image depicting Colemans Tunnel and shaft captured in 2023. Initially built during 1881-1882, the shaft now remains concealed within the surrounding vegetation. Moreover, the entrance to the connected tunnel has been entirely obscured. Purposefully covered with rocks in the 1980s, the site has since been hidden by the bush.
