A secret underground rave in a Hobart tunnel was shut down by Tasmania Police on Saturday night after reports of a large gathering in the city’s rivulet.
Dozens of young people had transformed the underground tunnel beneath the Hobart CBD into a makeshift nightclub.
The party was complete with an elaborate light and sound system which organisers had carried into the rivulet.
