    Interpretation of Site

    CARLSRUHE BRIDGE ABUTMENT 1 - Interpretation of Site

    Heritage Inventory Interpretation: Remains of original Campaspe River bridge near deGraves mill at Carlsruhe. Stone for the bridge abutment was probably cut from the same historic quarry (H7723-0449) that was used to extract stone for the construction of deGraves mill. The north wing of the abutment was destroyed by the construction of a new bridge on the Calder Hwy in the 1960s.
