Mullum Mullum Creek Tunnel

This is another walk along the Mullum Mullum creek bushland, but this walk also takes us through the Eastlink Tunnel

We start this walk at Schwerkolt Cottage which is a historical site as it is an original pioneer's stone cottage in a garden setting adjoining beautiful Yarran Dheran bushland park. If you are interested in the history of Schwekolt and the Cottage, have a look at this excellent  website from the City of Whitehorse. Here's the link:
