Man-made underground passage in Goulacullin — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Under a NW-facing slope in Goulacullin, a man-made passage appeared in the 1920s before being buried again. It left no mark on the ground, yet the act of hiding it suggests people valued the boundary between knowing and forgetting. The earth swallowed the tunnel, but the memory of its shape remains in the story told there.

In pasture on NW-facing slope. Tradition of Man-made underground passage discovered in 1920s and backfilled. No visible surface trace.
