Wahgunyah - Two Bridges Trail Walk
The Two Bridges Trail Walk follows the Murray River between the historic John Foord Bridge and Federation Bridge, which connect Wahgunyah in Victoria with Corowa in New South Wales.
John Foord Bridge was completed in 1892 and named after Wahgunyah's founder. Federation Bridge opened in April 2005 and features the Federation Arch and goalposts representing the Barassi Line, the imaginary divide between Australian football and the rugby codes.
