Different tunnel Gordon.

That one is the one under the esses along what was the Dunlop straight. A car and pedestrian tunnel.

The one from the paddock - normally pedestrian only but small vehicles could get through if allowed) is well protected by everything around it at the paddock end and on the infield is a long way down in the dip towards the pond and well away from the edge of the track.

All sections in both locations have a lot of debris fencing these days and the wall on the infield side of the track was moved back a considerable distance before the new licence was issued.
