About Kirwans Bridge
Kirwans Bridge is a small rural locality in the Shire of Strathbogie in north-east Victoria, situated approximately 143 kilometres north-east of Melbourne and 5 kilometres north of the town of Nagambie on the Goulburn River. With a population of 134 at the 2021 Census, the locality covers around 12 square kilometres of river country and pastoral land. It is named after a heritage-listed timber bridge — at 310 metres, the longest timber bridge in Victoria — which crosses the Goulburn River and was opened in 1890.
Kirwans Bridge is closely linked to the town of Nagambie, which provides local amenities including shops, cafes, a primary school, and access to the popular Nagambie Lakes recreation area — well-known for rowing, sailing, and water sports. The Goulburn River and surrounding wine country make the area attractive to those seeking a quiet rural lifestyle with scenic surroundings. Nagambie railway station, on the Shepparton Line, is located approximately 5 kilometres south, providing a V/Line rail connection to Melbourne and Shepparton. A private vehicle is still essential for most daily needs.
