Description:The Stonequarry Creek Railway Viaduct is a striking example of early Australian railway engineering, located in the historic town of Picton in the Wollondilly Shire. Spanning the picturesque Stonequarry Creek, the viaduct lies just a short walk from Picton’s town centre and is easily accessed via Argyle Street. Built in 1863 as part of the Great Southern Railway, this heritage-listed sandstone structure features six magnificent arches and remains one of the oldest railway bridges in continuous use in Australia. Surrounded by lush greenery and flanked by walking paths, the viaduct offers a scenic backdrop and a glimpse into the engineering feats of the 19th century. The area is popular with history enthusiasts, photographers, and railway buffs, and is also a peaceful spot for a picnic or riverside stroll. Its proximity to cafes, shops, and other historic sites in Picton makes it a must-see destination for visitors to the region.
