This old bridge is a very spectacular. It can be reached buy car or bike. For safety reasons you can't walk on the bridge, however, the viewing platforms off to the side at either end give a really good view and feel about the place.
It was really interesting to read the history of the bridge and be able to walk around to take photos.
Worth the turn on the main road, and the 3 km drive down the dirt track to see this pretty amazing testament to hard work and ingenuity. You probably won't need a long time here, but the surrounding forest is wonderful, and would make for a peaceful place to have a picnic lunch or the like.
Definitely worth checking out if you are driving through the area, it is off the main road and approx. 3km along a dirt road, you don't need a 4wd to access. This rail road bridge was built in 1914. The weir is a further 2km further along the dirt road and is not sign posted until you are actual at the site, the weir is not as spectacular as the bridge.
Nice photo spot. Very tranquil. The road through the forest was quite nice too. Make sure you put your insect repellent on though!
We stopped here for 5 minutes on our way from lakes entrance to the buchan caves. I'm rating it 5 stars since it's easy to get to and free so very worth the stop!
interesting history the bridge was worth a look great bush setting only about 3klms from the main roads.
This is an interesting side trip if you are visiting Lakes Entrance or Buchan Caves. The turnoff from the Nowa Nowa Road is not easy to spot although it is signposted. WE have a 4WD but the unsealed road is OK for normal sedans. The drive to the bridge is not long. There are several viewing points and you can walk up to the top of the bridge but not across it - not safe and barricaded.
fantastic bridge worth going to see, amazing what could be done in the early days without the equipment we have now to build bridges
Amazing piece of engineering in a bygone era! The history relating to this bridge just wouldn't be acceptable today & the fact the bridge is still standing is a testament to all who built it.
