The strangest tunnel in Sydney is an interesting place to hang if you want to freak yourself out after a visit to Hyde Park or the Domain with your favourite stuff. If it’s not the multitude of people that use the tunnel without realising how truly strange it is, then it’s the artwork itself that will have you screaming down the moving walkway. The Domain Carpark Moving Walkway is painted in several strange Sydney scenes on one side; the other seems like a drunken man imitating the other. At one end, there’s an Aboriginal elder trapped behind the Harbour Bridge, which seems to be morphing into a gaol cell – I kid you not. You can’t, however, enjoy your medication inside the tunnel unless it’s your lunch, but give it a try if you can next time you’re in either park, it’s well worth the surreal feeling as you emerge back into the sunlight overlooking Kings Cross.
Pros: Surreal, strange artwork made stranger by the horde of office-workers that don’t see anything in it. Free.
Cons: A little out of the way, with heavy traffic so it isn’t the best place if you can’t focus at all. Moving, so limited time you can stay, unless you ride it back.
Rating: 3/5
