Walk This Way: Noojee’s Trestle Bridge is Worth Every Step

Ever fancied a leisurely stroll that combines a touch of history, a sprinkle of nature, and a dash of "I can't believe this is free"? Welcome to the Noojee Trestle Bridge Rail Trail, a pint-sized 3-kilometre escapade (6km return) nestled in the heart of Gippsland, Victoria. This isn't just any walk in the park; it's a jaunt across Victoria's tallest surviving timber trestle bridge. ​
