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. \n

THE SILK STORY: Silk is known as the Queen of fabrics: Natural sheen that never diminishes/ soft, light and luxurious / Cool in Summer – Warm in Winter/ Absorbing perspiration yet letting skin breathe/ Promoting skin rejuvenation/ Hypoallergenic/ Eco-Friendly/ Biodegradable/ Easily Washed/ great tensile strength and durability. Confucius and Chinese legend narrate that around 3000BC the 14 year old Empress Leizu, wife of the Yellow Emperor, discovered Silk when a cocoon fell into her tea cup. She then developed the art of raising silk worms (Sericulture) and became known as the Goddess of Silk in Chinese Mythology. Being an exquisite, precious fibre, for many millennia, it was one of the most zealously guarded secrets in history. \n
