Did I mention I love tunnels?

Well I do and I still remember my first as vividly as if it were yesterday.

Yes I really I am talking about tunnels! For me, driving through a tunnel creates a strange combination of trepidation, the excitement of discovery, the rush of speed and a moment of feeling part of a bigger machine.

So you can imagine how excited I got many years ago when Adelaide decided to build its first real tunnel under part of the Mount Lofty Ranges, The Heysen Tunnels.

Still it’s not as good as my first. I suspect none ever will be.
