- Abstract
This presentation will focus on the building of the Bairnsdale to Orbost rail line and its bridges from 1912 to 1916 and the subsequent operation of the line.
Material from a 1916 talk by Mr Maurice Kernot (Chief Engineer for Construction, Victorian Railways) will be used in addition to other historic records, oral histories and historic and current photographs.
It will also discuss the potential for nomination of the rail corridor - including the bridges - for the Victorian Heritage Register.
EHV will be able to discuss with Helen the possibility of a Heritage Recognition project for this railway line.
