context_page_description: Redesdale is a town in central Victoria, Australia., 115 kilometres north west of the state capital, Melbourne. It is located partly in the City of Greater Bendigo local government area and partly in the Shire of Mount Alexander. At the 2016 census, Redesdale and the surrounding area had a population of 240.
context_section_description: Redesdale is on the opposite bank of the Campaspe River from the town of Mia Mia.  The towns are connected by the heritage listed Redesdale bridge,
  one of the oldest iron lattice-truss bridges in Victoria.  The trusses for the bridge were originally imported for a river crossing in suburban Hawthorn in 1859. The ship Herald of the Morning bringing the trusses to Melbourne caught fire and sank in Hobsons Bay. As a result, the Hawthorn Bridge, connecting Richmond and Hawthorn, was delayed for a couple of years while new trusses were made and shipped out to Australia.
  Ten years later the original trusses were salvaged from the Herald of the Morning and used for the Redesdale Bridge. The bridge was constructed on site in 1868 with a divided-lane through-truss design created specifically for the difficult river crossing and unique in Victoria.
