Eay flat walk departing from the old Railway station, crossing the road next to the bus stop and going straight to the forest .Signs can be difficult to find in this region as it is very bushy. This bridge was first built in 1917 , is 102 m long and 21 m high. It was primarly used to transport timber from the forests around Noojee but it also transported goods and passengers to nearby towns. Due to stormy weather in Spring 2021, the site has been closed and should be reopen in Spring 2022 but you still can do a bit of the walk up to the bridge.See more..
This thread is for London Bridge in Portsea, Mornington Peninsula; not the London Bridge at The Great Ocean Road. A few posts on this thread have made that basic mistake. London Bridge is one of the most impressive and unique rock formations that lines the Mornington Peninsula coastline. The natural bridge has been carved from the soft sandstone by thousands of years of wind, waves and wild water. My wife and I visited this place again, during our recent annual holiday in Mornington Peninsula, as it is a very scenic place to visit.See more..
Well worth seeing whether you are a railway fan or not. It is a piece of history that stands tall (literally) almost as grandiose as the day it was built. Along with its very significant history, the mere visual sight of it stirs something in anyone who views this magnificent structure. Also, very photographically appealing. A must stop.See more..
This is so easy to find as you walk through the Malmsbury Botanic Gardens keeping the high railway track on your right. A huge stone work of art appears as if by magic. My only criticism is that there are no signposts to direct travellers to this beauty. Without Trip advisor we probably wouldn't have bothered looking for it.See more..
My wife and I visited Lorne during our recent holiday in Torquay, where we stayed for two nights at The Sands Golf Resort. We like Lorne and usually visit once a year. We drove from Torquay and parked our car near The Lorne Visitor Centre. We walked along Otway Street, crossed the Swing Bridge and walked the circuit along the boardwalk to get back to the Visitor Centre. We enjoyed the scenery, physical exercise, fresh air and sunshine.See more..

The Redesdale Bridge is one of the oldest iron lattice-truss bridges in Victoria and while it has a stamp for 1867 on it... it wasn't finished until 1868. Prominent Melbourne engineer T B Muntz designed the bridge and it was built at a cost of £6274. The trusses were originally intended for a deck truss design, but were adapted to allow their use as through trusses with stiffening arches connecting them above the roadway. Two separate roadways with an intervening stone pillar separating them have caused problems for modern traffic. This bridge is really amazing to look at... and it's quite elegant in an old fashioned sense.See more..
4.5Taradale Viaduct(9 reviews) - Fantastic backdrop for photos - we even saw trains on it Bridges
A simply amazing structure when we caught sight of it. A truly unusual sight for this part of the world. We could not wait to stop and wander under it and take photos. Very picturesque background of greenery and even horses grazing under it. There is even a walkway under it from one carpark area to the one on the other of it, to allow visitors to safely walk and take photos, without walking on the main road. We were very fortunate to actually witness two trains passing over it whilst we were looking. A must-see detour off the Calder Highway if you are in the area. Not far from the Taradale Mineral Springs Reserve with an upgraded playground.See more..

Well worth a visit to walk across this fabulous old wooden bridge. Once across the bridge you can walk down the other side and then back across the track to the beginning.See more..
With the arrival of the Victorian railway in 1864 the construction of this bridge would provide a rail link between two colonies. The bridge would connect the two border towns of Echuca and Moama to the New South Wales town of Deniliquin, facilitating the important trade and transportation of goods. The construction of the Echuca-Moama Bridge was agreed upon in 1875, with both the NSW and Victorian governments generally agreeing to the proposed plans and ultimately sharing the cost equally. In regard to the logistics of constructing what was both a significant piece of infrastructure, the engineer William Henry Greene drew up plans and oversaw the project. Halliday and Walker in 1875 were awarded the building contract. The bridge’s construction was initially due for completion in 1877, however it was officially completed in 1878. It's an impressive bridge to drive across, but if you head to Moama Beach you can get some amazing views of underneath the bridge.See more..

The Suspension Bridge camping area is located in the Murrindindi Scenic Reserve...it is suitable for tent based camping and for smaller caravans, campervans and camper trailers.There are fire pits, flushing toilets, pit toilets, picnic tables, day car parks, information boards and of course the suspension bridge here. There are walks that start here, but even if you are not up for the extensive walks, you will still get a lot of enjoyment by walking along the edge of the river. This place is very tranquil and stunningly beautiful. I would recommend taking a picnic out here and enjoying nature at it's best.See more..

4.0Bourne Creek Trestle Bridge(1 review) - Iconic Bridges An iconic historic well preserved wooden trestle bridge that had been built in the early 1900’s. Easily accessible from a small roadside carpark which fills up very quickly due to its popularity for cyclists and surfers to make use of it also as well as visitors. Photographing of this wonderful structure is a little more problematic, but achievable with some careful negotiation through surrounding coastal scrub.See more..
This colonial era sandstone bridge was built in 1859 to facilitate the movement of men, gold & goods from and to the Beechworth gold workings. It was needed to ford Commissioners Creek on the route to the Sydney/Melbourne track. An easier route was found soon after but the bridge is still serving both locals and tourists to this day. Well worth a quick look while enjoying the village!See more..
4.0Old Goulburn River Bridge(1 review) - Victorian heritage-listed composite trestle and metal road bridge Bridges
As you leave Seymour towards Puckapunyal, you will see a winery on your right... there is a street sign that indicates there is a historical bridge there as well. The sign is not a great sign, but it will get you to this bridge. There is also a river walk here. There is adequate parking at the end of the road to park your car and wander to the lookout area to see the bridge. Clearly the bridge has deteriorated over time and it appears to have been a very long time since it was used. It was closed in 1987, but the original bridge was built here in 1862. It's worth stopping and it will cost you nothing. There are large river red gums surrounding the fast flowing Goulburn River which makes the area very picturesque.See more..
