There are so many tunnels in Perth that I have been researching. Up to 17 and maybe more, although many have since been destroyed or filled.

It was such an amazing feeling to find this tunnel after researching the area and certainly, the quickest I've found a tunnel. Not one single person I know had ever heard of this tunnel, which was mind blowing and made me more determined to find it.

I got chatting to a neighbour called Ian, who was a safety trainer on minesites and he was amazing support. Whilst I was in the tunnel, Ian stood at the entrance to ensure that I was okay the whole time.

This tunnel was one of the most challenging, particularly at times as I was almost chest deep in water. I took my time going through it, on guard for any dangers particularly any potential collapses, although I felt somewhat safe. This tunnel has existed for more than 100 years and it was still in an impressive condition.

I had found the entrance on the opposite side days earlier and I certainly wasn't going to attempt an entry, judging by the massive cracks in the rocks surrounding the entrance.

On the night of this video, I wore my rigging helmet, respiratory mask, steel capped gumboots, gloves... among other safety equipment. Please don't ask me where this location is as I am hesitant to, purely for the risk side of it.

Documenting history is so important to me, no matter what and by filming/photographing every possible detail I can, it can be preserved in some form.
