Getting there:
Only a 10 minute drive from Yea and you’ll find the Cheviot Tunnel located along the Great Victorian Rail Trail and only a short walk from the car park on Cheviot Road (unsealed).
Elise's Tips:
It can get quite dark in the tunnel so it’s worth putting on your phone light if you’re a little worried, but it’s honestly worth walking or riding to the other end and back (don't forget to get lots of photos)!
