Beginning in 1939, Malabar Headland became reserved for military installations as a defense against a possible attack, nominally Japanese. The surrounding ocean was considered the back door to Sydney harbour and the large headland was considered a tactical region where Sydney cove could be protected.
The war tunnels and barracks included an underground bunker with gun crew ready rooms, an ammunition supply and engine room. A small sunken railway and cutting of a tramway, as well as an observation post.
There have been an array of conspiracies surrounding the tunnels, with gothic and magick rituals being performed in the area in the last hours of the evening.
If you visit the area during the day via Malabar boat ramp you will find the original tramway as well as remnants of large gun carriers. The walls are riddled with graffiti and the isolation of the area makes the spot a great place to spray your cans.
The south eastern suburbs of Sydney were once buzzing with tramways which ran through the middle of Anzac Parade from La Perouse to Kingsford.
During the 1960s, the then government decided that buses would replace trams and trains would not be installed, as it was thought that buses were easier to manage.
Today.. there have been a number of proposals for a train station in Maroubra Junction as we can now see how important a train service would be for the area.
Upon returning from Bali, I decided to finally check out Malabar war tunnels and did so with a lot of fear and interest, to actually think that our local 2036 felt threatened from neighboring countries in the past is slightly mind blowing.
Graffiti covered the walls, there was a rotting carcass of some kind of unidentified animal and a general eerie feel was with us, even during the day.
I managed to sustain a injury, (as usual).
Props to my beautiful friend Dom for taking me.
My serious posting virginity has been popped, yew.
FLICKS COMING SOON.
