Summary

The Laidlaw's Buick, on a wooden bridge near Goulburn, NSW. A researcher says 'This is a photo of a three-span Allan truss bridge built over the Wingecarribee River at Berrima, between Sydney and Goulburn. The bridge was opened in c.1897 and provided service until 1962, when it was replaced by the current concrete bridge. It was sometimes called the Martindale Bridge, after Captain Ben Martindale, who was Road Commissioner in NSW 1857-1861.

The trip along the Murray River coincided with the 1918 flood (prior to the establishment of locks and barrages).
