STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

The Fisherman's Gully Railway/Culvert was erected in 1862-3 as part of the development of the Geelong Melbourne Railway Line. The contractor for the bridge construction was W Porter and the structure was designed and documented by the Victorian Railway's Department in 1862.

The basalt structure is an interesting relic of the original Geelong-Melbourne railway line although the original segmental arch spans have been replaced.
