Aerial view - Historic images - Walkaround : Kilcunda Victoria Australia

Kilcunda is a seaside town located 117 kilometres (73 mi) south east of Melbourne between Phillip Island and Wonthaggi near Dalyston via the South Gippsland Highway on the Bass Highway, in the Bass Coast Shire of Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. The name "Kilcunda" is believed to be from the Aboriginal term for 'an exclamation' The 91 m long Kilcunda Bridge was built over the Bourne Creek. It is protected by the National Trust. This trestle bridge was constructed for the Victorian Railways to carry coal from what was then known as the Powlett Coal Fields; Mining began in 1873. Coal was transported by a tramway to San Remo and thence by boat to Melbourne. The Trestle Bridge is a particularly significant monument because most of the steam-locomotive fuel that serviced the Victorian Railways network, from 1911 until 1978, crossed over this bridge.
