Summary

[On front of photograph] 'Hamley Bridge, near Adelaide, South Australia.' [General description]The River Light Railway Bridge, at the town of Hamley Bridge. The town, and subsequently the bridge, was named after the Acting Governor Colonel Francis Hamley, whose wife laid the bridge's foundation stone on July 25th,1868. The northern railway was extended from Roseworthy to Tarlee during 1868 and this bridge, said to be the highest in the state, was built over the River Light. The tiny figures of two men standing on the bridge give an idea of its size.
