The collapse of a bridge

Tweet

The photo shows a bridge which has collapsed. It is Pumphrey’s Bridge in Western Australia and wasn’t very far from the farm where I grew up. You can see the guide posts on the collapsed part. There is a much stronger bridge over the river now but you can free-camp along the edge of the river. This was a popular picnic spot in my time and Vince’s siblings held a picnic here years ago. Picnickers would swing out on a rope and drop into the river. It was also a popular camping spot for aborigine groups and a plaque recognises their attachment to the area. We stopped here to have lunch on our way home from our few days away.
