Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a beautiful cycle ride from the distillery to the trestle bridge and return. The tree lined path was picturesque and peaceful. We enjoyed reading about the history of the area. Just near the bridge were steers with calves.

I rode this trail from Camperdown to Timboon. Here is my warning. It is highly advisable not to ride the section from Camperdown to the other side of Lake Bullen Merri. The track use to go around the lake road but has been diverted around the back of the lake. You will have to ride on the road ( 100 km hour for cars with no bicycle lane). You are best to drive your car thru here as it is still extremely picturesque. My best advice is to start your ride on the trail which begins on Naroghid road.
This is where it all begins and you wont be disapointed. The trail starts of with a few trees and lots of farmland. This trail keeps on getting better and better. Streams, bridges, forests, birds and wildlife. It is an awesome experience and not to hard. Do it.

December 2015 rode from Timboon whiskey distillery for 5kms slight gradient downhill to the Curdies river trestle bridge, after taking the obligatory photographs we then headed back to Timboon. Didn’t see snakes (bonus) kids 7 & 13 made it okay (apart from the occasional whimper) the scenery was diverse, (not just open farm land). Would like to have done more but…….

We set up a car shuffle [leaving cars at Timboon ] The walk started at the Glenfyne Hall and we followed through a lovely tree lined route , up and down beside 4 short trestle bridges , finally arriving at the amazing Curdies River trestle Bridge. Nearby is a limestone quarry which used to use the old railway to transport lime to Camperdown and beyond.Excellent information board here telling of the building of the bridge. We then continued walking into Timboon and our cars. A great lunch or afternoon tea can be had at the Timboon Distillery / cafe which is where the old station was.This section of the trail is 12 kms , so a nice walk, mostly flat. We were a group of 14 and stayed at the Lake Purrembete Cottages [ 0419 591 660] a great place to stay.

Great place to go for a visit, would suit a walk or a stop for lunch bbq. Seemed to be a free camp area on the grass next to the waters edge. Lovely views.

It's fantastic this bridge has been allowed to remain. You can even walk across it.
This is a perfect example of how things were built from timber and are still standing.
Spectacular view.

This nicely restored rail trestle bridge is a reminder of our historic railway infrastructure and when the railways were the main transport for product and people around the state. It also shows the skills of the local builders in using the locally available products in its construction.

Great place for a drive in the afternoon and do a east walk across the very old trestle bridge.
The bridge is part of a great cycling / walking track.
