**Bulla Bridge** is a four span bluestone arched bridge over [Deep Creek](/source/Deep_Creek_(Victoria)) in the town of [Bulla](/source/Bulla,_Victoria), north east of [Melbourne](/source/Melbourne). It was constructed in 1869 by McBurnie and Ramsden, for the [Shire of Bulla](/source/Shire_of_Bulla) to a design of Scottish-born engineer [John C Climie](/source/John_C_Climie) and replaced a timber bridge built in about 1859. The bridge is 126 feet long and comprises four spans each of 27 feet.[1] It is associated with a c.1843 road cutting and early ford which was on the main road to the Victorian gold fields.[2]

The picturesque setting has attracted a number of artists and photographers including the woodcut by [Eveline Winifred Syme](/source/Eveline_Winifred_Syme) in the 1930s, and numerous historic photographs.[3][4]
