Noojee railway trestle bridge

[Stephen Whiteside]

Maggie and I were in Noojee (Gippsland) last weekend. This (now disused) old railway trestle bridge caught our eye.

I guess they thought in those days that the supply of big hardwood was never ending. There looks like a few long straight trees in the area, would we want to chop them down for railway bridges ?

[Stephen Whiteside]

I suspect trees every bit as big as these are chopped down for far less noble purposes these days, Neville.

Thanks for posting, Stephen. Definitely now on our list to visit, as all things "railway" hold an eternal fascination for Rod and me.

Cheers, Shelley

How exciting! I'm thrilled to have been of assistance, Shelley.

Nobody I know in Melbourne has even heard of Noojee - let alone the trestle bridge. I guess it is one of those gems you stumble upon accidentally - unless, of course, somebody posts photos of it on a forum!

I hope you and Rod do get there, Shelley, and that you enjoy it as much as we did.

That is a stunning place Stephen. The bridge is quite amazing. It's possibly a good thing that it isn't more widely known; that gives it a better chance of surviving the 21st century human race. Thank you for posting... such a pretty and precious place.

[Stephen Whiteside]

Thanks, Glenny. Yes, our jaws dropped when we stumbled upon it.

[Catherine Lee]

This looks gorgeous Stephen - would love to get there one day! Thanks for posting.

[Stephen Whiteside]

Thanks, Catherine.
