Boolboonda Tunnel, Railway tunnel in Queensland, Australia
The Boolboonda Tunnel extends for 192 meters through solid granite rock, connecting the former railway line between North Bundaberg and Mount Perry.
Engineers and workers completed the tunnel construction between 1881 and 1884 to transport copper from Mount Perry mines to Bundaberg port.
The tunnel represents a significant achievement in Australian railway engineering as the first Queensland tunnel that required no internal support structure.
Visitors can access the tunnel by vehicle, bicycle, or foot from Tunnel Road, with clear signage directing from Gin Gin to the location.
The structure now functions as a sanctuary for hundreds of bentwing bats while remaining open for public exploration.
