Kilcunda Trestle Bridge

At low tide

The 91 m long Kilcunda Bridge was built over the Bourne Creek and is protected by the National Trust. This trestle bridge was constructed for the Victorian Railways to carry coal from what was then known as the Powlett Coal Fields.
It is a particularly significant monument because most of the steam-locomotive fuel that serviced the Victorian Railways network, from 1911 until 1978, crossed over this bridge.
Since disused, the bridge is now a tourist attraction and a part of the Bass Coast Rail Trail. Bourne creek spills over Kilcunda Beach and out into the sea of Bass Strait

Lovely image of this old trestle, David, and good to hear its life is extended as part of the trail.

Great shot to show the perspective and construction of the trestle bridge.From memory many of these were mainly constructed from timber and nowadays ,looking at them closely, the wear and tear of time shows on the timber struts.Interesting capture and info,David.V
