Zeehan, Rosebery & Tullah

ZEEHAN: A geologist's mecca. With a population of 800 Zeehan is not quite a ghost town but its ghosts are everywhere along its main street. See and explore grandiose buildings of Victorian days that are being restored to when it was a major mining town for gold, silver, lead, and tin and a place for the piners and successful gold panners to spend their hard-earned money. The old Gaiety Theatre is slowly being returned to its original glory and is occasionally host to contemporary arts and culture events, and Zeehan's West Coast Memorial Pioneers' Museum is a showpiece and a mecca for anyone professionally interested in the technology and sociology of such a town.

Spray Tunnel
Located at the end of the main street, the Spray Tunnel provides a scenic walk through a one way 100m abandoned train tunnel. The unusual keyhole shape is said to be the result of the top part of the tunnel having been enlarged to allow the passage of steam boilers that were brought through the tunnel to the mine. A fully boarded path goes through the tunnel and a picnic area is available at the entrance of the tunnel.  When walking through it is recommended to take a torch.
