The tunnel is 15 metres wide and up to 12 metres high. Tunnel Creek was also the hideout for the Aboriginal bushranger Jandamarra, also known as Pigeon, who was killed there by police in 1897.Cite web|url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/Western-Australia/Derby/2005/02/17/1108500208395.html|title=Derby|accessdate=2008-04-28|year=2004-02-08|work=The Age]
