Noojee Trestle Bridge
Built in 1919, the Noojee Trestle Bridge in Victoria Australia was part of the railway line connecting Warragul to Noojee, designed to facilitate the transport of timber from the surrounding forests. During the early 20th century, the timber industry was a cornerstone of the local economy, and the railway system played an essential role in supporting it. The bridge itself is a marvel of timber craftsmanship, measuring over 100 meters in length and 21 meters in height, making it one of the tallest trestle bridges in Victoria.
Its construction utilized locally sourced timber, showcasing the region’s abundant natural resources. The bridge was engineered to withstand the heavy loads of steam trains, while its wooden framework highlights its beautiful architecture.
Preservation
Although the railway ceased operations in 1954, the bridge has been preserved as a historical site and is now a symbol of Noojee’s heritage. The bridge escaped the fate of many others that were dismantled or destroyed, thanks to local efforts to conserve this piece of history. It remains one of the few surviving examples of wooden trestle bridges in the state.
