The project,dug by two men named Murray McCourt and Dick MacIntyre, started in May 1957 and was completed in May 1960 using a D7 tractor for cutting through the limestone range with the intention of draining swampland and turning it into a fertile horticultural and farming land.
The cutting is 1-kilometre long and reaches up to 28.34 metres deep. Its width at the bottom is just 3 meters, while it’s 36.57 meters wide on top. It’s estimated that 276,000 cubic metres of material was successfully removed.
The cutting features information boards, a viewing platform, and the machinery used on display.
