The Derby Tunnel in Derby, Tasmania, is a hidden treasure that transports visitors back to the town’s mining days. Established during Tasmania’s mining boom in the 1870s, Derby was a hub for tin mining and timber milling.
This dark, unlit tunnel, once a hive of industrial activity, now hosts a natural spectacle: glow worms that light up its damp walls like tiny stars. Walking through the tunnel is both a step into history and a journey into the magical world of these bioluminescent creatures, offering an experience that’s as eerie as it is enchanting.
