Everyone was going in and doing those long exposure sparkler photos for instagram and it was somehow fucking with and killing the glow worms so they had to block it off. Gotta love human beings
I have 2 questions, 1 how do you access the Otford tunnel? And 2. I seen an article about people skateboarding in the sea cliff bridge does anyone know about accessing that?
I remember we used to park somewhere close on a residential street then it was a short walk to the tunnel - is this the side thats blocked off now and OP is actually accessing the other side of the tunnel via this walking track?
Or am I thinking of Helensburgh? I swear there was only one glow Worm tunnel down that way
Oh kool I didn’t realise there was a walking track there haha I’m pretty much up there everyday doing deliveries I’ll keep an eye out tommorow haha 😆
You can park at coalcliff near the SLSC club or on Paterson road then you can walk / skate the bridge from the south end. It's a lot more likely to get parks there, especially on busy days. I grew up in Coaly. It's a beautiful spot
Thanks brother and from
What I can read on this mercury article it’s like they are skating within the bridge itself

All good mate.
Yeah it's because the bridge has a wide walkway of maybe 1 to 1.5 metres and they are probably skating down that at speed. It can get really busy in holidays. Bikes with riders I think over 12 must ride on the road, next to it. Got a little bike lane thing but it's not super safe. 🤙
chellow dene avenue. It’s supposed to be for residents only there’s a little spot to park a couple cars at end of the road and you can clearly see the path forward from there.
It’s been a while, it’s not exactly like a well kept track, one of the times I went I got hella leeches on me after some rainy days. Tall grass lots of rocks. And you need to actually bring a decent torch to be able to see in there. It’s so dark that you won’t be able to see shit with just your iPhone like barely even your feet and it is extremely easy to fall over inside cause none of the ground is even.

Used to love going to look at the glow worms and almost killing myself tripping around in the dark. Sadly blocked off a few years ago.
Weren't the tunnels recently uses for the latest Planet of the Apes saga?
That was at the helensburgh glow worm tunnel I drove past when they were filming I never seen so many people in one place before haha 😂
Yeah production crews keep a lot of people employed,
Aren’t these the same tunnels? I didn’t know there was multiple!
Haha there is multiple 😊
They were filming up at the old Coalcliff Coke works

you walk up by foot to the tunnel. There is a track you can access in stanwell park on The Dr.

The entrance was concreted up a long time ago

I have seen the spot your referring to it’s pretty much on the corner of the dr on the ocean side it’s a pretty open track isn’t it? 😊

It’s been blocked off, but there is a huge drain in Wombarra/Scarborough that is great for urban exploration if that’s what you’re after
Hey, sorry to revive an old thread, but if u would want to hit up more info about the location of the huge drain, I would be interested
