    Great video!
    The first tunnel you were in came out of Platform 1 at Wynyard before the area was converted to a car park.
    On the other side of the brick wall preventing you from going any further was a pistol firing range which was accessed through a door adjacent to the barred gate that you came up to under the Harbour Bridge.
    The tunnel that you used on your return would have lead to Platform 2 at Wynyard. Your path was blocked by a huge ventilation unit which was used to expel the exhaust from cars and prevent the build up of carbon monoxide when the area was being used as a car park.
    When Platforms 1 and 2 were being used by trams, only a paling fence separated them from the trains using Platforms 3 and 4.
    The tunnels will never be used by trains as they're now considered too narrow to use by today's standards, and, as you mentioned, they're quite steep. Ridiculous really, as the two tunnels that are in use for railway traffic are identical to these two.

      I've heard of the pistol range but didn't know that was it! Thanks for the history lesson!

    Travelled by tram across bridge, I could see the water under the tracks, in back of toastrack tram in the '40's.

    Great job. However I did see them myself. First I walked from Wynyard Carpark to north through the car-park tunnels, then I saw a camera at the corrugated gate fence and dodged the camera. I then bolt cutted the chain and the 3 screws before venturing into the tunnels like you did in 0:36. I closed the door behind me and propped it up with a chair and a fire extinguisher to jam it up and preventing anyone especially security workers from getting in which bought me more time.
    I ventured in and seen the whole lot like what you seen. Also I came across litter and I collected about 25 rail spikes that were left behind and preserved from when the tram line was removed in 1958.
    So all of that I did was a "Point of No return"

      A multi key and a set of padlock pick locks works for me :) Most of the old padlocks take about three seconds to rake...I grew up in Sydney and used transit system I often wonder how much asbestos from the train brake pads I breathed in as the pressure from from the arriving train washed over us ,but I digress I do that :)

      The abandoned tunnels are nearby
      There is a vent around the Cahill expressway tunnel beware circular quay and Sydney library
      I think they might be either connected to the expressway or St James lake as a shaft

      @@jackthediscoverer the shaft is in front of the state library and goes straight down to lake st james, but it's sealed off at street level. However, if you look at Shakespeare Place on google maps you will see 2 large manhole covers in the median strip - this is the possible access point to a concrete staircase built during WWII which leads to it. The shaft itself is too deep without ropes & grappling hooks (don't even try). The shaft used to have a wooden staircase when used during the war, but this burnt down after a mysterious fire in 1968.

    In the 1980's I would go to small library in Watson's bay and copy maps on to my legs under school uniform from books that could be viewed but not borrowed. I'd then set about getting into bomb shelters to explore them. Same at Bondi and king's Cross. I still have horrors of some of the people/activities I saw down there ..maybe not good to write. In early, early day much war memorbilia. Some things I saw few would believe?!!! Curiosity killed the cat!...yeh, and satisfaction brought it back😶

    They haven't bricked off the exit from the old car park?! It's my understanding that they are building a new skyscraper on top of the entrance access to the old tunnels and platforms; and I've been very curious if they have retained access through the basement level(s) of that building. Still haven't had this question answered, but you'd assume they'd want to be able to access this underground facility, still, if even closed of from the public.
    But I see they obviously haven't blocked off the car park exit. lol

    • @UrbexNinjaZ
      @UrbexNinjaZ  3 года назад +1

      they can't brick off the exit as it's still used as car park for railway staff. it's not possible to build anything on top as there's a bridge there.

      No kidding. I was there in 9th of April. I managed to get in through Wynyard Land Carpark and followed up the tram tunnel all the way. the tunnel exit to the harbour bridge was just as the same. I did managed to get in. and propped the door up after closing it behind me. So that no -one can follow. I did hear some banging but they couldn't get in. Meant bought me some time. So I was the Last person to venture through the Tram tunnels and out to the harbour bridge, then onto the walkway to cross the bridge. What I did through the tram tunnels from Wynyard Carpark was "a point of no return"
