Decided to go for a hike up on Mt. Baw Baw last Saturday but got distracted around Noojee.
Turned off to see the trestle bridge and then did the old rail trail walk into Noojee, a round trip of 4km.

Visiting my parents has meant revisiting some fav landmarks.

This railway trestle in my hometown is the largest railway structure of its type in the world! It's still used daily by the Canadian-Pacific Railway company.

My bestie did her wedding photos along the base of the viaduct here back in 2013! It was summer then and sooo green.

@[email protected]:Spending time mindlessly surfing about, this came to my attention: biomechanics, this case a sea sponge building its own structure pretty much the optimum way, putting many of today's bridges and other weight-supporting structures to shame, in a way. The article compares man-mades to this:

The examples include a 100-year-old wooden structure on Vancouver Island, .. brigde. @suannlim or @donlittle, is the Kinsol trestle bridge that a famous landmark? Not that I'm anywhere near the area, but it does look like something you might show to visitors,if planning allows.

When I started at university biomechanics, and especially the motion-related neighbouring subject areas were in high demand with friends. 3D printing wasn't visible then, in the mid-late-1990s. The field surely has gotten a long way since. Any insights, dear lazyweb?
