Crikey Caleb there sure was a lot of tunnels that I guess would not be the ideal place to play hide and seek in hey lol especially for someone who gets lost in a round room. The abandoned machinery just wasting away I guess the owners ran out of money and people just help themselves to spare parts?. How many CC is your bike mate? The sheer depth of some of those areas is mind boggling and you would hope that none of it decided to cave in on you. That tunnel machine that was used in the near end of this video they must cost a fortune?. Well stay safe mate.

Yeah the machines in the field either broke down or the miner made his millions and left, and also the broke miner leaves his machines and gets out of there. Some of the machines out in the field are stripped to just a chassis when people have pinched parts. my motorbike (the blue one) has 85cc and my dads trike has 250cc. The video of the round tunnelling machine was insane I did not film it all but it did not end. He would have spend years doing all that work and we did not find much trace so he either got it all out or he did not pay for all the work to dig it.
