The Viaduct in Malmsbury

Not a very pleasant morning cold and wet so we stayed in until 12ish when it started to clear and thought a little fresh air might be good.

Whilst having breakfast we did have another visit from a local who also left us little presents right in the middle of the steps and chairs outside.

John had researched a small village near us that sounded like it might be nice for a visit.

It was so small you could blink and you would have passed through. It had a couple of shops but they were mostly closed.

We drove to The Viaduct which is only 2 min from the town. The Viaduct is the largest stone bridge span in the southern hemisphere. The National Trust claim it is one of Victoria's most substantial engineering structures built in the 1800's. Construction started 1859 with the railway line opening in 1862.

We then come back to our house were we stayed for the remainder of the day catching up on computer work and cooking corned beef purchased from the markets in Daylsford.Read more
