[edit] chullora bunkers

Insert non-formatted text here

There were 2 or 3 bunker complexes located in the chullora railway workshops area during ww2. However there is very little information on this bunker excpet for what workers from the railway workshops have divulged about the bunker complexes. It has been advised there was a bunker complex under Marlene and Davis st, Chullora. Apparently there is two doors in the side of the hill which give access to the bunker that have been sealed, according to one of the employees of the workshops, the bunker has been partially backfilled as over the years, several large trucks have run over the top of the bunker and cause minor collapses of the tunnel roof and concrete was poored to stop further damage. Very little is know about the use of the tunnel, but due to its exposed location (the only known entrance is in the side of an embankment about 300 metres from the main worksop area) and was most likely some kind of testing or design area.

It has also been advised there are two large bunker like "basements" under two of the workshops dating from ww2. One of them apparently still existed (as of the year 2000) it was completely empty except for a few tables and bits of junk and access was via a trap door. The other "basement" was located under a workshop that has since been demolished to make way for the fairfax publishing building. Apparently this basement included a tunnel system, with one of the entrances being located in an embankment located along Worth st Chullora opposite the TAFE college.

Unfortunately all these sites cannot be verified by official government documentation at the moment. 220.237.17.99 04:42, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. Were did you gather this information. Also where can I find this tunnel entrance for myself. If I could I would take pics and upload to this website if possible. Cheers_Ad@m.J.W.C. 05:59, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
