The Warrandyte tunnel, also known as the Evelyn Tunnel, was blasted through from one side of the mountain to the other to divert the major Yarra Yarra River in the early 1970s. Using dynamite, only one foot of the hard rock was able to be blasted off at a time. The reason for the diversion of the river was to dry up a large section of the river so that it could be mined for alluvial gold by the Evelyn Tunnel Mining Company. This is their story of success and of ultimate failure.
