1. Swimming Pool Circa 1910 Marker
This weir was created as Kyneton's first swimming pool and was a favourite spot for all water activities. Shady trees, bluestone seats and two former Melbourne cable trams helped create a pleasant setting. The first swimming carnival was held in February 1912.
Wooden Foot Bridge
In 1859 a high wooden foot bridge supported by blue stone buttresses was built over the river at this location. It was washed away in an unusually high flood in 1870. The bridge was rebuilt several times before being demolished in the 1950's.
Erected by The Rotary Club of Kyneton.
