Try out the West Gate Tunnel . . . on foot
While riders are waiting excitedly for the Veloway to open soon, they can get an up-close view of the underground road tunnel itself next weekend.
 
Sunday 16 November 2025 is a Discovery Day for people who want to get an experience of being in a tunnel under Yarraville without being cooped up in a car.
 
There is a run in the tunnel from 7am to 8am, which has an entry fee, and there are walks – free – available from 10am to 5pm.
 
The run has a $58 entry fee which goes towards local charities, in particular the Community Bike Hub which does a great job recycling bikes for people in the west.
 
There are two categories for walkers: a local registration for inner west residents and general registration for the rest of us.
 
 
Discovery Day is based at the Yarraville Gardens where there’s also food, entertainment and free family-friendly activities for the kids.
 
Location: Yarraville Gardens, 139–147 Hyde St, Yarraville VIC  
Date: Sunday 16 November 2025
Time: 6.30am to 6pm
