Burnt Bridge


This is a lovely bush walk along a section of the Mullum Mullum creek in Ringwood.
Burnt Bridge is a locality within Ringwood, named after the Burnt Bridge Hotel, which was operated in the early 1840s and was located along the Lilydale Trail, near the junction of Maroonday Highway, Old Lilydale Road and Beaufort Roads.
