This hidden gem of Gippsland is worth tracking down. A little way from the main road is concealed a stunning example of a wooden trestle rail bridge, nestled in a leafy glen. The 102m long, 20m high structure was originally built circa 1919 from local timber but had to be rebuilt after bushfires in ‘39. Information can be found at the site about this process, along with the fascinating story of the early pioneers of the area, including one resourceful family who made their home in a hollow tree! Take a picnic for a relaxed afternoon’s excursion, and don’t forget your camera.
