The Wilcannia centre lift bridge was opened in January 1890 and allowed paddle steamers and their loaded barges to pass on their way up or down the Darling River at the time when Wilcannia was Australia's third largest inland port.
In 1991 the bridge was bypassed by a new bridge just upstream, although it remains in use for pedestrians and cyclists,
Visit Instructions:
1) After you've found a vertical lift bridge, go visit it, get the coordinates, a picture or two of it, and if it is in use or not still as a lift bridge.
Then log it and post your pictures! At least one of the photos must be of you and your GPS there with the bridge in the background. (No old vacation shots or photos off the internet!)
2) Include the coordinates, city/county/state/country and the name of the bridge (if it has one).
3) Include any interesting information about the structure
