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 purposefully buried under rocks in the 1980s. Today, the rocks themselves are hidden by regenerating bush and blackberry vines.
