Excellent day spent at Edgars mission . Tour guide for the day was so brilliant and very informative. Loved every minute of it and can’t wait to go back for the premium tour . All the animals there are looked after amazingly, they truely have found heaven on earth after touching upon hell . Brilliant place and extraordinary human angels that run this place ... bless you all

I have been across this viaduct numerous times on a V/Line train but when we visited midweek during November 2020, my friend and I found that V/Line had shut the line for 15 days for maintenance. Going by the demeanour of 'workers' near Elphinstone sttaion, not much work was occurring, typical for an organisation that ha slost its focus with the recent sacking of its CEO for alleged corruption. The viaduct is best viewed from a minor road off the old Calder Highway that leads to a nature reserve, and then one can walk along a track adjacent to the famous aqueduct that we were pleased to see is flowing (in previous years it has often lacked any water, but rainfall in 2020 has been excellent). The resultant photos are worthwhile. Standing underneath the viaduct makes one wonder at how incredibly bright the railway engineers were in 1860, given that they lacked today's surveying and heavy earthmoving equipment. The navvies had to rely upon picks, shovels and backbreaking labour, and scaffolding compared to today's was probably dangerous and we would say substandard. But they perservered with this 'main line' being built to a wonderfully high standard although it caused a financial drain on the accounts of the post-gold rush colony of Victoria. These men who built the railway deserve our huge thanks.

What a surprise, didn't think the cross would be so big! A short easy walk that's surrounded by lovely gardens and a lookout, this venue has plenty of parking and toilets. It's a beautiful reminder for our WWI heroes, I can only imagine how spectacular it would be to be there during Anzac Day.
