Statement of Significance

These stone culverts are significant as part of the first Government-built railway line in the colony, the greatest public work in Victoria up to that time. The stone arches, built to carry the rail over local creeks, demonstrates the craftsmanship of stonemasons brought out from England to work on this major undertaking.
