View of the C620 taken from an older alignment higher up the hillside. |

Closer look at the C620 from the same location. |

A short section of obsolete alignment on a crest with a curve. The previous two photos were taken from here. |
 |
Another view of the same section of road. Linemarking still in evidence. This road is used as access to some properties. |

From the old road looking toward the existing alignment. |

Unusual use of the Lane allocation
warning sign for overtaking lanes. Normally only used on the single
lane side to indicate two opposing lanes. At this location it has been
used upside down to indicate an overtaking lane begins at a location
where is is not as obvious as usual.
Just east of Bruthen. |

Something different. A disued railway
crossing a disused road. The Bairnsdale to Orbost railway (which closed
in 1987) crossed the present B500 / C620 route a total of 4 times near
Bruthen. One over the road, one under the road and two level crossings.

Another view of the abandoned railway crossing. |
 |
The present road has been realigned at this point to eliminate the sharp curve near the crossing. |
 |
The Orbost railway formation is now a
recreational Rail Trail. Note the sign here advising trail users that
they are approaching the "Bruthen - Nowa Nowa Hwy". |
