The Spray Tunnel at Zeehan
This short trip is on the main tourist route and although it can be negotiated by any manner of vehicle type (provided it is not too high, nor too wide) it's a trip worth making a point of as it gives visitors the chance to experience something a little unusual. The Spray Tunnel is a short tunnel along the pathway of an historical railway line that was used for the transportation of ore from the nearby Spray Mine. We follow signs along the one-way loop track that follows part of the old railway line, including what is now called the Spray Tunnel which the carriages used to travel through as they transported ore to the smelters south of Zeehan. The road is very rough and badly eroded in some places so we had to travel quite slowly over much of the road that leads through the bushland to the tunnel.
