Run 'n' Hyde
You'll never guess where this fella and his 4 mates are hiding. If you live in sydney, you've probably walked right over it without even realising.

Just a guess - but maybe an old bomb shelter?
Guest_Marquis  [Apr 26, 2007 at 03:11 PM]
...unfinished St James tunnels?!
Wizard  [Apr 26, 2007 at 06:38 PM]
Not unfinished. Infact they were finished twice. Once as a train tunnel, and then as a bomb shelter for World war II . Nowdays their only use seems to be for emergency services training.
Guest_Marquis  [May 06, 2007 at 11:29 AM]
insane! any way of getting down there
Guest_Marquis  [May 31, 2007 at 10:33 AM]
So what's with the two niches at the end of the tunnel? How did you find this place, anyway?
Wizard  [May 31, 2007 at 10:55 AM]
The end wall is a baffle. The recessed sections form part of a short corridor that winds through the baffle and in to the next section of the tunnel. It seems as if the intention was to divide the shelters vertically to allow for more occupants, consequently the corridors are repeated in the top section.

if anyone explores the bomb shelters, they'll eventually find a large gong object. I want it bad
Guest_9901  [Jul 24, 2007 at 03:44 PM]
the big ben gong is nearby right?
Wizard  [Jul 24, 2007 at 04:15 PM]
Everyone loves the gong eh? - yes, the gong is very close by. in fact from memory it's in the shelter next door.
Guest_expert  [Jul 25, 2007 at 06:52 AM]
damn straight! Gong 4 life!!! It just looks so beautiful. So serene. So tranquil. The very essence of existence encased in wraught iron and steel...er i mean, yes. It is good.
Guest_gorman  [Aug 06, 2007 at 10:48 AM]
The only way to get here is to walk down the tracks at St James, right? I'd love to go but I can't afford that $5000 fine
Wizard  [Nov 13, 2007 at 02:53 AM]
Due to popular request. The gong!: http://urbantwilight.net/displayimage.php?pos=-933
Guest_Mosher  [Jan 23, 2008 at 04:45 PM]
how do u get in there?
trainman  [Apr 07, 2008 at 03:34 PM]
You can't. Not even down a live tunnel. It is behind a locked door or a locked gate.
Guest_sydney guy  [Nov 18, 2008 at 11:14 PM]
