Bridges

Where's this one?

Katherine Low Level NT

 
I was looking around Brisbane (because that's what is says in your profile), but if it's "near home" where's "home" now?  (Locality only required.)

[Totgas]

Some places always remain "home" even when your living elsewhere. Spent 15 years in Katherine (some of the best of my life).

There are a few around here I have not managed to get too and are supposedly quite famous (among bridge devotees) so have to get around to that.

This was one my favorite bridges from my ride around Oz. I was lucky enough to arrive during its weekly open and closing.

Another one from my bike travels

Ross, in Tassie.   

[West Aussie Glen]

Yeap.

The Sale Swing Bridge, located on the South Gippsland Highway 5 km from the city of Sale, Victoria, Australia, spans the Latrobe River at its junction with the Thomson River. (From Wikipedia).

Glen, I know u would have done this after the AGM last year but I don't recall your saying u went 2 Tassie as well. Was Theresa with u on this leg of the trip? Would love to do Tassie with my Mother Terese. I think you might have started me on a quest (so I can b a FartRider like JohnnyWYTED).

Gregory,
The Tassie photo was taken during a car trip around tassie.
I saw the swing bridge a day or two before I arrived at your place. It used to be opened by hand now they use a pnuematic motor and air compressor.
My first ride around Tassie was in January a long time ago, I think 1971, the second was when I picked up the Goldwing from Launcestion.
A great place for bikes if you can dodge the weather.

Very clever engineering ....

[Streak]

Saw this beauty today out for a ride with Deisel at Jerseyville NSW

Who knows this one?
Somewhere between Ballarat and Gunnedah.

[Brock]

That could be a challenge to cross.

[Bluey]

This too could be a challenge to cross:



Anyone seen this one on their travels?

[Phil.S]

Does anyone know where this bridge is located?

[Williamson]

Does anyone know where this bridge is located?

Yep!  That's Spikey Bridge on the Tasman Highway around 7.5 km south of Swansea.  Here's another pic, this is one my mate Phil took of his GSX1400 outfit.  Some you guys and gals met Phil at the Blackwood VIC RTE and at the Metung VIC RTE last year.  Phil's an ST rider too - a Triumph Sprint ST - that almost counts.

[Williamson]

This too could be a challenge to cross:



Anyone seen this one on their travels?

Hint?

[Williamson]

...... Somewhere between Ballarat and Gunnedah.

That's around 1,200km direct, you'll need to be a little more precise for this old fella.

[HONK]

OK. A give away.
Between Gunnedah and Coolah. 

[Bluey]

This too could be a challenge to cross:



Anyone seen this one on their travels?

Hint?

About 40 K's north of Charters Towers on the Gregory Development Road - Oh that more than a hint!

[Williamson]

OK. A give away.
Between Gunnedah and Coolah. 

At Mullaley - Coolah Road crossing of Saltwater Creek, around 7.5km south of Tambar Springs.  At this location, Google Streetview shows what is likely the broken-down bridge below.

Thanks to Google Maps and Streetview......

Good Googling. Make a plan to stop and check it out when your in this neck of the woods. There cant be that many bridges with trees growing out of them. A nice piece of Ausi bush always leaves me with that peaceful feeling .
