Trestle Bridge

For those with an interest in railway bridges, this one is just off the Princes Hwy between Bairnsdale and Orbost in Victoria. There is a second, longer one at Stoney Creek, but the third of the trio crossing Hospital Creek was burnt in bushfires.


Hope this hasn't caused any snoozing!

Looks like it's out of an old western movie

Lovely bit of engineering in old trestle bridges.

hell yeah,i like that.

as distructive as man kind is, i appreciate old engineering feats that stand the test time,

i work in the construction industry,and they don`t make things like they used to

i want to see that in person

This one, and the Stoney Creek trestle bridge are both near a little town called Nowa Nowa (just Google it). The picture above is the Wairewa Creek bridge about 7kms East of Nowa Nowa, the even bigger Stoney Creek bridge is a few kms to the West of the town, both just off the Princes Hwy. Both are vulnerable to bushfires.
