A slow start. I'll check before midnight, but then no more clues until Wednesday night.

OK I will make a start. Could be grape vines and looks like river gums. Mildura/ Wentworth area. Roderick will not like two states in one guess so I think I will take the Vic side.

Think it is the old Murrumbidgee Bridge that has been set up as a feature for the Darlington Point Caravan Park.

Lang

I'm not sure who posted first. Dodgeydude picked a Murray zone, which was the right geography, but the wrong side of the Murray.
Lang holed in one, with the Darlington bridge over the Murrumbidgee, built when that was still prime paddlesteamer territory.
Built in 1905, replaced in 1979, repositioned as a bicentennial project, plaqued by Engineers Australia in 1989.
This carried the Jerilderie to Griffith main road, a road which today carries a VLine bus service as well as trucks carrying irrigation produce.
Australia had and has many bascule bridges. This is one of six which used Scherzer counterbalancing. That curved track for the counterbalance was far more efficient than the traditional counterbalancing. I've got the mathematical formula for it somewhere in my research files.
I can't list the six top of head, but there is one survivor still in use.
Perhaps an irrigation wine from the Griffith area is the right tipple while coming up with the new challenge?

Roderick

Next one.

Lang is that you in your 1925 or is it 1926 Dodge about to cross a causeway on the Burdekin river on the Prostate Cancer Awareness Rally a few years ago?

No. It is me in my 1915 Willys Overland on the Prostate run about to cross a causeway a long way from the Burdekin.

Clue: it is a recognized main road near to the town which is the administrative centre of one of Australia's larger shires.
