This Edition’s featured photo – The interior of the railway tunnel at Rhyndaston, in the southern midlands of Tasmania. It was initially constructed
in the early 1870s by the-then Tasmanian Main Line Railway Company, original owners of the railway between Hobart and Western Junction (near Launceston).

In 1964, the tunnel was enlarged by use of a rock boring machine, hence the smooth upper section.

Active railway tunnels are extremely dangerous places and local readers are warned NOT to seek this one out. I am aware of two fatalities in this tunnel,
both of which occurred over a century ago.
