STORY: Stony Creek Trestle Bridge. Built in the early 1900’s The Stony Creek Trestle Bridge measures about 250m long and 20m high. The Bridge is the largest wooden trestle bridge in the Southern Hemisphere and is a stunning piece of engineering built from materials found on the site such as red ironbark. The bridge was used to transport passengers and for logging until 1988 when the last train made the journey between Bairnsdale and Orbost. The criss-cross lattice designed bridge created a great platform for a B&W scarf.

HAND WASHING: Preferred: Use lukewarm water and a mild non-alkaline soap such as baby shampoo. Avoid soaking and rinse with a few tablespoons of distilled white vinegar added to the clear water. Avoid wringing or twisting and roll in a towel then hang to dry. Avoid using dryers.
IRONING: Most wrinkles can be removed by hanging the scarf in the shower and letting humidity work. While the scarf is hanging a steam iron can be used carefully avoiding wetting locally. If necessary use a cool iron setting (Silk Setting) on the back of the damp scarf – avoid too much heat.
