Big day in Swan Hill today. The bridge hasn't been open for a least 6 years. The maintenance men having been working like crazy on the bridges between Echuca & Mildura
This weekend there is a big Centenary of Paddle steamers in Mildura
The 100 year old PS ADELAIDE left Echuca earlier in the week & is now hoping the bridge in Swan Hill will open so it can continue its journey down the Murray to Mildura in time for the celebrations this weekend
Swan Hill bridge
Slowly UP UP SHE GOES!!!!
PS Adelaide makes her way under the bridge, as the river is very high at the moment & flowing very strongly, it was a real effort to get her under BACKWARDS!!!! apparently more control on the current going that way !!!!!
Another paddle boat accompanying the Adelaide on its journey down stream
All the maintenance men are happy things went well, now they have to make there way further down the river to Nyah bridge by 3..30pm & hopefully have the same success as in Swan hill this morning
