South of the border.....Name the nearest town to where these photos were taken.

Also is this an ex-military body?

Not ex-Mil, ex Victorian Railways. The VR GY wagons were the universally common 4 wheeled wagon for most of the 2nd half of the 20th Century. As they were withdrawn from servce, some were cut up for scrap, others sold by auction to find all kinds of 2 lives. Underframes of many types of rail wagons are often used as small bridges by private property owners.

As for location, looks like Rutherglen to Wangaratta for all I know.

Tony, thanks for the ID, it is located about four and a half hours west of Wangaratta. There is another across a gulley in a padock a couple of K's away that still has one end on it so wouldn't be much use as a bridge.

I was near St. Arnaud, I didn't realise I'd left it so long to answer.

About bloody time!

I think like most people I'd completely forgotten about your post. It did have me wondering though at the time.

Where was I today? It was the first time I've been there and it was a very interesting day.
