Geocache Description:


Wildwood Road Bridge is situated on the Wildwood Road over Deep Creek, a tributary of the Maribyrnong River.
It is a riveted metal girder bridge on bluestone abutments and central pier erected in 1871 by Sumner & Co under contract to the Shire of Bulla.
Wildwood Road Bridge is of historical significance as one of the earliest surviving metal and stone road bridges in Victoria. 
Wildwood Bridge is one of about ten riveted wrought iron bridges with masonry abutments and piers dating from the 1870s and 1880s. It is perhaps the best preserved example of its type, and distinguished from the others by an attractive setting, and particularly high clearance.
It is next to the Martin Dillon Reserve which is known for its exotic plantings.

Just be mindful of the kids near the road as it is a narrow single lane bridge.
