Historic bridge on Mitta Mitta river
While out riding some of the best roads in victoria and grabbing a few caches of course, I noticed that this bridge did not have a cache placed here. It's a very pleasant spot for a swim on a hot day and the odd trout can be caught also.I have hidden a 200ml sistema with the usual log and swaps on the bridge structure. Now a bit of history.The Hinnomunjie bridge over the Mitta Mitta river is historically significant in being only one of the five known extant timber truss bridges in Victoria and one of only two multiple trusses. It is the only known to be constructed using hand-hewn timber. Opened in 1910, the Hinnomunjie Bridge replaced another which was constructed using blue gum piers in 1891 to serve the mining industry at Glen Wills and Sunnyside. It is of considerable age for a bridge of this type. The Hinnomunjie Bridge is additionally significant in its ability to demonstrate typical craftsmanship in early timber bridge construction with broad axe marks clearly visible on the superstructure. Come and take a look and maybe find a cache too.
