1855 Wang got its bridge across the OVens. Canadian design, spanned the stream in a single arch (yep only one). The gangs used axes from America for the very very first time in the colony, so that made it a wonderful bridge............All good things came from America. Poor Billie the Puntman when out of business. Got into a bad mood about it too. then in 1866 on the same day. The First sparkling wine was made. Mr. P.D. Ramsey , Beechworth, mde it, with assistance from mr. Russom, the soda water manufacturer.

Hi Denise I have read that William CLARK owned the Punt, That Billie worked on. William Clark had upset the Government or who ever built the bridge, They moved the bridge so that it would not go past the pub that William owned. The day the bridge opened the punt sunk.
