I wasn't going to hold off for two in a row; it didn't matter if the Murray sign was painted out or not. While most of those bridges are Murray River (some are Darling River), this was the only one to have a temporary Bailey bridge placed while lengthy maintenance was undertaken on the main bridge: 2 years.
In 2016, the bridge was supposedly in, and a fleet of downriver boats couldn't come to mark the 150th anniversary of PS Adelaide, in Echuca.
The bridge wasn't in.
When it was placed, tinnies could go through. I might have got my boat under, but didn't try.
The span was removed in about September 2019, and two big boats came through promptly, ready for an October rally in Echuca.

All of those Murray River bridges have subtle differences: the arrangement of the counterweights, the number of approach spans, and the style of truss used for the approach spans.
They have been converted from manual winching to hydraulic operation. While passage is free, the raising must be booked at least 24 h in advance, and hours are restricted. The responsible council brings in the hydraulic pump on a truck. While an operator couples it, four others undo a corner clamp each, then stand guard with 'Stop' signs. The whole operation is slick.
The clamps stop vibration and wear as trucks pass over: all of the bridges carry Riverina produce to Melbourne for markets or for export.
On one occasion, I was camped at Tooleybuc. All night a procession of trucks passed, each fully loaded with beehives being relocated to be clear of an annual tree-spraying program. A few million head of bees passed that night.

I have a couple of photos in mind, but they may not be ready until tomorrow.

Meanwhile, have a 2016 photo of the bridge.

That was good water, and only 3 years ago. Sept.-Oct. are months when water is good, and people with large boats time their voyaging to match.
Some of that is spring snow-melt which can't be stored, but most is because this is irrigation season, and Lake Victoria is being filled to be the main storage for Adelaide supply through the oncoming summer.

Out in the middle ?

So far so good: the middle of what?
I picked this one because it is on a truck route which must have been used by some/many (but not necessarily most/all) members.

"of no where" and before the back of beyond, north of the black stump is as close as I can get.

AFAIK North of the black stump.
I had thought that this one might go fast: no point for clues. Of course, all of those with the right knowledge may well be at family gatherings.
Some members will have driven by; some may have called in.
For others, it is a blank.
For the majority, the biggest clue is having a Pioneer Express bus stopped there.
Now, to try a different approach.
Don't try for a hole-in-one approach.
Go for a 20-questions style.
Starters: get the state/territory.
Then we can worry about the road/highway.
Then we can worry about the major endpoints.
Then we can worry about the precise location.
I'll be happy with road and endpoints as an honourable response.

Wheelabarraback Highway, just south of Kikatinalong.

And a happy and safe New Year to everybodies.
