Southbank: Burnley Tunnel
Burnley Tunnel occupies an underground route beneath the Yarra River corridor in inner Melbourne, Victoria. Opened in 2000 as part of the CityLink project, the 3.4-kilometre tunnel carries eastbound traffic through three lanes between the West Gate Freeway and the Monash Freeway. It is paired with the westbound Domain Tunnel, creating a separated cross-city link below the river and the built-up precincts south of central Melbourne. The tunnel takes its name from Burnley, the riverside suburb farther east, while its Southbank section lies close to Melbourne’s central business district. As a major element of the metropolitan road network, it moves commuter and freight traffic away from surface streets.

Among Australia’s regions, Victoria stands out for the remarkable variety packed between the Murray River and Bass Strait. The state combines fertile northern plains, the Central Victorian Goldfields, the forested Great Dividing Range and a long southern coast. Bendigo and Ballarat grew rapidly during the gold rushes of the 1850s, while Melbourne developed into Victoria’s cultural and economic centre. Along the southwest, the Great Ocean Road follows a dramatic stretch of coastline, contrasting with the farmland and river country inland.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement. In Sydney, the sail-like Opera House, completed in 1973, stands beside one of the world’s best-known harbours. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Australia.
