About Tunnel Track
The Tunnel Track is a popular outdoor destination located within the Dularcha National Park in Mount Mellum. This heritage trail follows the original route of the North Coast railway line, which operated until the early twentieth century. The highlight of the walk is the eighty-metre-long curved railway tunnel, constructed from concrete and brick. Visitors can access the track from several entry points, navigating through a mix of open eucalypt forest and dense rainforest sections that provide natural shade throughout the year.
The trail serves as a connection between Mooloolah and Landsborough, making it a key link for local transit on foot or horseback. It is situated a short drive from the Glass House Mountains Lookout, providing a convenient addition to a day trip in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Maintenance of the track ensures it remains suitable for shared use, though participants should bring their own torches for the unlit tunnel section to navigate the interior safely.
