| 説明 | Gundagai railway and bridges. The first bridge to cross the Murrumbidgee River at Gundagai was the Prince Alfred bridge completed in 1866. It closed to traffic in 1976 and is one of four bridges across the Murrumbidgee in Gundagai. This fine old wooden bridge is now in disrepair and closed even to walkers. The second bridge was the wooden rail viaduct which is over 800 metres long. The railway reached Gundagai from Cootamundra in 1886 when the quaint wooden railway station was built. In 1899 work began on extending the railway line from Gundagai to Tumut which necessitated a railway viaduct over the Murrumbidgee and the river flats. This was opened in 1902. The railway line closed in 1984 and that railway viaduct at Gundagai has not been used since then. The Gundagai railway station closed at that time and it was fully restored in 1995 and is now a railways museum. To the west of the two wooden bridges are the two bridges for the Hume Highway. These are the Sheahan bridges with the latest one only built a few years ago when the Hume Highway was duplicated past Gundagai.The Gundagai Courthouse is a prominent structure in the main street. The first Courthouse was erected in 1847 but it was swept away with the great floods of 1852 the highest floods Gundagai has ever witnessed. A new Courthouse was completed in 1859/60 and then it was extended in 1902. In front of the Courthouse is the Boer War memorial. In the park down the street is the Dad, Dave, mum and Mabel statues commissioned in 1978. They are based on the Steele Rudd characters used in a long running early radio serial. |
