Correct, and (unfortunately for you having a shot) just as Harro has reappeared.

But yes correct on all counts, the shepherds hut.

The tunnel is on the Old Glen Innes road, it was built by convicts in the 1870s or 1880s if I remember correctly....near Dalmerden?? has stuff written in the roof from when it was built. we visited this when I was a nipper, should
add it to the list to go back to... i remember there was a memorial, a cemetery and a toilet we used was long drop and needed flaming out!! but thats about it, not sure if there was nothing else about and the town itself was a ghost town (eg pretty much gone!) I cant find it on google maps..
wonder if our modern tunnels will last this long.

But it wasn't built by convicts Digger. This is a common misapprehension. The story on it's construction can be found at Mann River Reserve further up the road towards Glen Innes. Or on google
