I always wondered what exactly was behind those bluestone walls when I rode past on the Maribyrnong path. You could see it was explosives of some sort.  The bunkers are serviced by tunnels with tram lines that ran from the end of the canal loading bay. The gunpowder was stored here since 1878 and later was used in the munitions works higher up the slope. It seems the developers are circling but these five hectares of bunkers are being preserved.
