Poverty Point Redecking 1976 - "The Tramway Bridge over the Thomson River, Poverty Point, Walhalla, was constructed in 1900 by Dorman Long (London, England), and erected by Austral Otis Co (South Melbourne). Used on a seven-mile, horse-worked two-foot gauge railway/tramway, it was built for the Long Tunnel goldmining company mine. It is a prefabricated steel structure, imported from England and consisting of steel girders and tubular steel vertical and diagonal struts. The line was closed between Platina and Walhalla in 1944 and the timber deck was later destroyed by fire. A new timber deck and steel handrail were completed in 1976 by the Forests Commission, and it currently serves as a pedestrian bridge."
