Overview

Tunnel is a quiet rural locality in the Launceston local government area, sitting about 36 km (22 mi) north of the city. With just 73 residents recorded in the 2016 census, it offers a low‑density lifestyle framed by open countryside. The name stems from the historic railway tunnel completed in 1889 and the nearby station that gave the area its identity, reflecting a modest heritage of transport links.

Modern access is provided by two regional roads: Route C820 (The Paling Track/Bacala/Tunnel Road) runs through the centre from south to east, while Route C821 branches off near the southern edge and heads south‑east. These arteries connect residents quickly to Launceston and surrounding districts, and the rural setting supports spacious homes and larger blocks typical of a countryside community.
