Redesdale /ˈriːdsdeɪl/ is a town in the City of Greater Bendigo and the Shire of Mount Alexander, Victoria, Australia.

The ship Herald of the Morning bringing the trusses to Melbourne caught fire and sank in Hobsons Bay.

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.

Other stopping points on the line, going towards Redesdale, included Edgecombe, Green Hill, East Metcalfe, Emberton and Barfold.

Australia's worst aircraft disaster, the 1945 Australian National Airways Stinson crash, occurred two miles east of town.
