Seems we have passed from East Gippsland to the Gippsland Lakes region of Victoria. We are certainly learning about regional Victoria on this trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forty kms later we turn for Lakes Entrance. Shortly after we see a tourist sign for the Stony Creek Trestle, the road seems reasonable so we give it a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three kms later we find ourselves at this amazing bridge. Constructed in 1916 it served until 1988 when the line was closed. It worth clicking on the image below and reading the history, particularly the 1964 derailment on the bridge. It is now part of the East Gippsland Rail Trail which we have mentioned in the last blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
