The Eastlink freeway is about to open any week now. As usual the people in charge always arranges for the public to get a closer look at the new construction and we were able to walk the tunnel. So on Sunday bright and early we set out on our little adventure. We were quite surprised as to how many other people decided to walk through the tunnel. We went in the morning there were about 20,000 people then. By the finish of the day over 100.00 people had made their way through the tunnel.
A very nice man asked us if we would like our picture taken.At the entrace to each tunnel are these enoumous structures. The tunnels are named Melba and Mullum Mullum. Each tunnel is 1.6km long.
Besides walking the tunnel they had a few other attractions along the way. Performers, school bands and food stalls of course. 
There were a variety of information tents you could wander in and out of. They also had a fun run on the freeway and a bike run of which our good friends Charmaine and Ron took part in. Aparently for the first month it is free to trvel along the freeway after that it becomes a tollway.
