The way in
The visit begins at a concrete portal on Kitchener Drive, where old pipes and valves stand at the entrance. Narrow entrance tunnels, about two metres high, carry the large oil pipe and vents into the hill before opening into the storage tunnels, where the fuel was meant to be kept.
Tunnels 5 and 6
Tunnel 5 runs for about 170 metres and Tunnel 6, which has a small pump chamber, for about 78 metres. Photographs of Allied wartime activity in the Top End line the walls, and Tunnel 6 has a lighting display.
See the Light
The tunnels’ See the Light experience adds augmented reality, which you open on your own smartphone by scanning a code, and a short documentary of about ten minutes. Allow time to read the panels as you walk; the visit is self-guided, so you can take it at your own pace.
