Bridge over Tunks (Pearces) Creek

|
Bridges are not just functional, they can also be scenic and engineering attractions so spare some time to admire the bridge over Tunks (Pearces) Creek. Built in 1893, this bridge is a McDonald timber truss road bridge, a type of construction used extensively in New South Wales because of the high quality of local hardwoods and the shortage of steel during the early decades of settlement of the state.
