I love the Rusconi's Marble Masterpiece on Display, made 😍 all my Hand, each pieces 😍 and polished each Marble pieces was polished by Rusconi, and put ❤ all the pieces together has taken him about 35 years? All the Marbles were found in Gundagai and New South Wales, see 👀 the Marble Masterpiece.

The old town Gundagai was built on the Murrumbidgee River and became a township in 1838.

On the 25th of June 1852 it was destroyed by a flood 4 to 5 metres deep across the river flats. With 78 recorded deaths, the flood was Australia's worst natural disaster, until the 2009 Black Saturday Bushfire in Victoria.
An even larger flood followed in 1853.

Prince Alfred (6 August 1844 - 30 July 1900), after whom the bridge named (opened in 1867) was the Queen's Victoria (24 May 1819 - 22 January 1901) her second son. He was the first member of the Royal Family to visit Australia, touring in 1867 - 68, when he was 23 years.
He was shot in an assassination attempt at Clontarf (Sydney) March 1868.

Prince Alfred Bridge the iron spans are of unique design. The top chord is continuing and rests on roller bearings.
The piers are made of 6ft high by 6ft diameter (approximately 2M x 2M) cast iron drums made at Fitzroy Iron Works Mittagong. They were the first large iron casting made in Australia.

The total length of Prince Alfred Bridge was 921 metres. The Railway viaduct built in 1903 is the largest timber truss bridge ever built in Australia and measures 809 metres.

Prince Alfred Bridge from 1867 to 2021, was at Gundagai for 154 years. Early November 2021 due to the significant safety risk that the deteriorated timber viaduct poses to the Public. So it come down.

The 25 June 1852 Murrumbidgee River flood, local Aboriginal men, Yarri, Jacky Jacky, Long Jimmy, and one other played a role in saving many Gundagai people rescuing more than 40 people using bark canoes.
2017 a bronze sculpture of Yarri and Jacky Jacky with a canoe was unveiled in Gundagai, the number of people whom they saved is 68, one third of the towns population.

In the census of 2016 the population of Gundagai was 1,925.

Photos 📸 were taken at Mount Parnassus Gundagai Lookout.

Beautiful upgrade of Main Street. Riverfront caravan park is excellent. Excellent info centre

All I can say is wow!! Do yourself a favour go to the Gundagai visitors centre and have a yarn with Jackie. While you are there you have to spend some time with Rosconi's Marble Masterpiece. It will blow your mind. Ask plenty of questions the more you ask the more you will learn about this amazing piece. And do lunch across the road at the Services club chinese restaurant. You will not be disappointed. Gundagai has hidden treasures if you like discovering the less famous stuff.

Great place to visit, friendly staff and heaps of information of things to do around Gundagai. To see the visitor centre on my travel show which shows you free and budget campsites around the local areas of Australia and things to do. So tune in every Thursday night on YouTube with Oz RV travels

Excellent, helpful & friendly staff member 👍

Gundagai has an amazing history and the town has had a big facelift. The old railway station, the bridges, the art deco shops, aboriginal history. Dad, Dave Ma and Mable statues are in the park. Take a break off the Hume and spend some time here. Really interesting.

The lady at the information centre Jackie was so lovely and accomodating. Audio tours aren’t something we’ve done before but we found it very informative. Given that the gaol itself is small, we would have usually walked in and out but because we had the audio it was very interesting and we did spend some time there. Price is $10 per adult which is an extremely reasonable.

Friendly and helpful in well laid out centre. Plenty of parking. Check out the amazing marble piece, and it’s story, while there.

Excellent very helpful and friendly staff, great place for any information you may require. 10 out of 10

Lovely little place to check out and grab a cold drink from whilst taking the cheap V/Line train and coach to and from Canberra.
