North Bourke Bridge
Highlights
Step into history with a visit to North Bourke Bridge, Australia’s oldest movable span bridge! Built in 1883, this incredible structure was a key part of the River Trade era when paddle steamers carried goods along the Murray-Darling River system. It’s like a time machine to the 19th century!
The bridge is a great spot for photography, with its one-lane charm and historic design. While it’s no longer used for major transport, it’s a symbol of the ingenuity of the past. Bring your camera and snap some cool shots of this iconic piece of Australian history!
