[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 590887, member: 4386"] I think the footy oval was an American camp. I'm a bit surprised that they would bother with tunnels as they were around for less than two years, But it is hard to think of any other explanation - definitely no mines there. There were some tunnels in the early days for getting water along an aqueduct but that is not likely - it would be large diameter and concrete. They are pretty pokey tunnels (by comparison that at Northcote was around 3 m x 3 m). Perhaps it was for training and served as a potential air-raid shelter. Mt Evelyn history group No. 49 MARCH 2012: The aqueduct tunnel p1. The aqueduct consisted of 23 miles (37km) of open or covered channels, three tunnels totalling just over half a mile, over 25 miles (40km) of steel pipes (up to 36 inches in diameter) and a water supply capacity of 20 million gallons (75.7 million litres) per day.
