Although Melbourne's City Loop (Melbourne Underground Rail Loop) is an underground railway, there are many places where you can see it above the ground. There are ventilation shafts, substations and even emergency exits dotted around the CBD and inner city.

I acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands on which this video was filmed, the Wurundjeri people. I pay respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and their extensive and continuing connection to land, water and country.
