He also surveyed for the gun emplacements around the waterfront. My brother (now deceased)and I used to bike from Greenlane to St. Heliers to take our father's lunch to him. I can also remember going to Mangere on the back of a small truck when my father surveyed there for the future airport.There was a crabapple tree at one of the gates. Strange what sticks in a child's mind. I can remember looking through my father’s theodolite as he surveyed the middle tunnel.I was still at primary school at the time.

Some of the tunnels are still accessible to the public during certain hours - not sure about the others though. A few have collapsed... If you ever decide to come down and make an expedition, count me in! Hey Symon, Frances and I went there just the other week.

You don't need to break in to get to them. Just contact Auckland Council and ask for permission - make sure you have a good enough reason such as making a film doco or something (actually it would make quite a good doco), bring along a video camera for legitimacy and have adequate safety gear.

Seems the only unknown is what its like behind the locked door. We know from the 1996 explorers that the constitution hill entrance (#9) is a dead end. Very keen.
