Description: Journey into the remarkable story of one of Australia's most distinctive river crossings, where ambition, ingenuity, and community aspiration converged on the Clarence River. From the earliest dreams of linking Grafton's divided shores to the bold engineering feat of a double-deck bascule design carrying both road and rail, this richly detailed account traces every phase of the bridge's construction, operation, and eventual transformation. A compelling tribute to the workers, planners, and townspeople whose lives were shaped by this iconic structure, and to the enduring heritage it leaves behind.
