Taradale Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Taradale, Australia
The Taradale Viaduct spans 250 meters across Back Creek, rising 120 feet with five spans supported by bluestone buttresses and steel girders.
Construction of this Victorian railway infrastructure began in 1858 under the Melbourne, Mount Alexander and Murray River Railway Company, reaching completion in 1862.
The viaduct represents a significant example of 19th-century Australian engineering, featuring designs by Captain Andrew Clarke and construction by Cornish & Bruce.
Visitors can observe the viaduct from Royal Oaks Park, following a walking track that leads beneath the structure for detailed examination.
British railway engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel supervised the ironwork fabrication by Rowland Brotherhood from Chippenham, Wiltshire.
