Noojee Trestle Bridge Rail Trail, Railway heritage bridge in Victoria, Australia
The Noojee Trestle Bridge is a wooden railway viaduct structure in Victoria that spans about 100 feet (30 meters) in length and rises above an embankment, supported by multiple wooden pile sets. The adjacent path consists of fine-grain gravel and runs through a flat terrain section.
The bridge was built around 1920 to transport timber from the surrounding forests and played an important role in early railway operations. After a major bushfire affected the region, it was rebuilt and today stands as a relic of that railway transport history.
The bridge connects visitors to the craftsmanship of early Australian railway engineering. Here you see how engineers of that era built stable structures with wood and simple methods that still impress today.
The path is covered with fine gravel and allows visitors to walk, cycle, or ride horses through the area. For travelers using wheelchairs, the flat path is easy to navigate, especially when starting from the nearby visitor center.
This is the last surviving bridge from an earlier infrastructure system that once consisted of seven similar structures. The location is therefore a rare example of early engineering achievement in difficult terrain.
