The Maribyrnong Viaduct Bridge began constructiton in 1927. When it was completed in 1929, it was the largest trestle bridge in Australia. The bridge, which is Heritage listed, is 55 metres (180 feet) high, making it the second tallest bridge in the State of Victoria, after the Westgate Bridge. It's just under 400 metres long (1260 feet), which is why locals call it the Quarter Mile Bridge. It's a grand sight, unfortunately it's mainly used for hauling freight these day, though if you are taking the passenger train from Melbourne to Sydney you will get a spectacular view.

A short drive from Walhalla and we were at Bruntons Bridge. This area has of recent times had an upgrade with more camp sites available and a clean and tidy toilet block. Very relaxing.

Highly recommended. Stayed at Woolmunda Cottages in Smythsdale. The kids enjoyed the eBikes which you can hire for $20. We are lucky to be located along the Ballarat-Skipton Rail Trail, which was a perfect adventure on either push bikes (which we brought also) and the eBikes you can hire from the peroperty (perfect for mum!). On one side of the trail, you can visit (on the bikes) the very quaint Nimon's Bridge (a magnificant wooden trestle bridge over the valley) and on the other side a nursery/cafe at Haddon.

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.

I have been across this viaduct numerous times on a V/Line train but when we visited midweek during November 2020, my friend and I found that V/Line had shut the line for 15 days for maintenance. Going by the demeanour of 'workers' near Elphinstone sttaion, not much work was occurring, typical for an organisation that ha slost its focus with the recent sacking of its CEO for alleged corruption. The viaduct is best viewed from a minor road off the old Calder Highway that leads to a nature reserve, and then one can walk along a track adjacent to the famous aqueduct that we were pleased to see is flowing (in previous years it has often lacked any water, but rainfall in 2020 has been excellent). The resultant photos are worthwhile. Standing underneath the viaduct makes one wonder at how incredibly bright the railway engineers were in 1860, given that they lacked today's surveying and heavy earthmoving equipment. The navvies had to rely upon picks, shovels and backbreaking labour, and scaffolding compared to today's was probably dangerous and we would say substandard. But they perservered with this 'main line' being built to a wonderfully high standard although it caused a financial drain on the accounts of the post-gold rush colony of Victoria. These men who built the railway deserve our huge thanks.

We stopped here on the way home from Buchan Caves. Fascinating railway history. You can stop at two lookout areas - the main car park with toilets or a lookout under a km from bridge
