A gorgeous bridge!

This is a great place to stop for a quick selfie with a very old suspension bridge that is still in use today! Plenty of gift shops and places to eat on the weekend as well.

Victorian engineering at best

Pass this bridge and what a wonderful piece of Victorian engineering left until now. Kangaroo river is best if you are a fly fisherman.

Beautiful bridge, don't forget to get a view underneath.

A beautiful bridge and can't image it is over 120 years old. Don't forget to get down to the river for a spectacular view. You can also hire a kayak or canoe to go on the water.
