Lerderderg River diversion tunnel

The Lerderderg River diversion tunnel, known as The Tunnel, is located on the Lerderderg River approximately 25 km north-west of Bacchus Marsh, Victoria, Australia.

The river flows around a spur in a horseshoe bend.

[1] The tunnel was dug during the Victorian gold rush, most likely between 1855 and 1870, and is one of around thirteen river diversions surviving from that era.

It is a 3.0 km walk along Byers Track upstream from the O'Briens Crossing Picnic Area.
