The tunnel is 145 metres long, six metres wide and four metres deep.The tunnel is in the Pound Bend section of the Warrandyte State Park.
The Evelyn Tunnel Mining Company, a public company, was formed on 8 February 1870 . The object was to create a tunnel through the narrow section where the Yarra River turns back on itself and divert the river through it. This left five kilometres of river bed which could be mined for alluvial gold. The returns approximated the costs involved, the company never paid a dividend and was wound up in September 1872.In 1884 the idea of using the tunnel to generate electricity was proposed, and in 1888 had formed a company for the purpose.The site is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register and is included a Heritage Overlay.
