- Looking to the right, Murchison Bridge. Erected between November 1935 and March 1937. The bridge works were prompted by the deteriorating condition of the existing 1870 timber structure, which also had a limited five ton load capacity. The main bridge span was fabricated in a workshop before being reassembled and riveted on site. The new bridge was opened by Lord Huntingfield, Governor of Victoria, on the 31st March, 1937.
