There is a bridge over the Loddon at Eddington, built during 1928-30[1] to replace a 19th-century example that tended to be swept away by seasonal floods.
One of Eddington's claims to fame is that the rescue team that set out to look for the ill-fated Burke and Wills party in the 19th century camped there overnight.
While there were facilities including a brewery, cheese factory, butter factory, several hotels, race course and Churches during the second half of the 19th century, Eddington's population would be 96 today .
Today there is an active Golf Club, a Community Centre and live steam model engineering society. There are two former hotels, a former general store, former police station and lockup, former primary school and former garage. The Loddon River at Eddington is the upper reach of Laanecoorie Weir.
A cafe operating limited hours also operates out of the old service station premises on the main road.
