This weekend, Joel has expressed a desire to return to the Kilcunda coastline, a place rich in both natural beauty and historical significance. I believe we may seize the opportunity to venture further into the deeper reaches of the sea during low tide, perhaps uncovering aspects of the shoreline previously unexplored.
It is worth noting that Kilcunda is home to the iconic Trestle Bridge, a striking relic of Australia’s early railway era. Constructed in the early 20th century as part of the Wonthaggi railway line, the bridge once served as a vital artery for coal transport, linking the thriving mining town of Wonthaggi to Melbourne. Though no longer in service, the structure remains a testament to the region's industrious past, standing proudly above the Bass Coast as a reminder of Gippsland’s role in shaping Victoria’s economic history.
In returning, we not only revisit a beloved coastal spot but also walk in the shadow of history itself.

ReplyDeleteLove tresle bridges, we in fact will be visiting some next month and do a bike ride Myra Canyon Trail (Myra Canyon Trestles) in British Columbia, Canada. The trail follows the old railway and features 16 wooden trestles, 2 steel bridges, and 2 tunnels.
