  • Boyds Tower

    June 22, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Fascinating place to visit and well worth going just to see the architecture of the place, let alone the views back towards Eden. Amazing story about this lighthouse that never was. The structure was not commissioned as a lighthouse, and the building work stopped in 1847. The tower was used as a whale-watching platform.Read more

  • Tura Beach Rockpool

    June 28, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Fantastic walk, with many “lookouts” with very different views showcasing the landscape and rock formations. But once you get there, the rock pool itself is not swimmable and hard to reach. I think the time of year plays a part in when these rock pools are full. They need the waves crashing over the rocks.Read more

  • Stony Creek Trestle Bridge

    July 1, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    The Stony Creek Trestle
    Bridge was built in 1916
    when the existing rail line
    from Melbourne to
    Bairnsdale was extended to
    Orbost. This 97-kilometre extension through rugged terrain was reputed to have been the most difficult rail project undertaken in Victoria.
    The bridge remained in
    service for over 60 years up
    until a bushfire damaged it
    in 1980. The last train
    crossed the bridge in 1988.
    At 247 metres long and 20
    metres high, the bridge is
    the largest standing bridge
    of its kind in the state.
    Built of red ironbark and
    grey box timber, it is a fine
    example of the early
    engineering skills that made
    do with the resources and
    materials found on site.
