NOTES: Bourke is located on the Darling River 789 km north-west of Sydney, in New South Wales. Depicted is the famous North Bourke Bridge across the Darling which was completed in 1883. This bridge was designed to allow paddle-steamers to pass along the river. The bridge is a “lift up” or moveable-span bridge and is the oldest in Australia and is the sole survivor of its type in New South Wales. It served as a Gateway structure for 114 years before being bypassed in 1997. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourke,_New_South_Wales https://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/portal/heritage/north-bourke-bridge-darling-river-1883
