John Foord Bridge

This is a detail from the bridge that spans the Murray River, and links New South Wales and Victoria.

Corowa is a very beautiful town and the Murray River was higher than it's been for twenty years, the locals say.

It's also one of two 'Federation towns', the other being Tenterfield.

Enough of the history lesson. For anyone who's interested here's more info about the bridge.


The John Foord bridge, completed in 1892, is of State significance. The iron lattice trusses are significant for their materials and form, and their association with British Bridge technology and design engineer John A McDonald. The form and setting have high aesthetic and social significance. The bridge as a whole is extremely important and visible identity of the historic precinct of Wahgunya.
