An abandoned rail tunnel that once formed part of the South Coast Line between Stanwell Park and Otford. It stretches for 1.57 km one-way – however, the northern section is private property and the tunnel may be closed at any point in time.
The Otford railway tunnel is a heritage-listed former railway tunnel on the Illawarra railway line at Otford, City of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. It was designed by the New South Wales Government Railways, and built by W. Rowe and W. Smith (tunnel) and Mr. McDonald. The property was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

One of the 'gong's most famous coastal lookouts with great views of Sea Cliff Bridge from afar. It is a pain to get to on foot, though.

Curved railway viaduct over Stanwell Creek Gorge
This viaduct built in the 1910s above Stanwell Creek Gorge – the specific route was chosen due to problems with the old railway route, forcing the construction of a new track higher up the mountainside. At above the creek bed, surrounded by rainforest and containing around five million bricks, it is the largest railway viaduct in Australia.
