Abbotsford Bridge

The Abbotsford Bridge spans the Murray River between Yelta, Victoria and Curlwaa, New South Wales. The name, Abbotsford, is derived from the punt service that previously operated at the site of the bridge. This was known as Abbot's Ford. Over time, this area of the river northwest of Merbein became known as Abbotsford.

The bridge was opened on 10 July 1928 by the Admiral Sir Dudley de Chair KCB KBE MVO, Governor of New South Wales.

gollark: Oh yeah, copy in a known-good reactor constantly.

gollark: With enough, I don't know, formation planes and an internal ME network, or turtles or something, self-repairing repeatedly-meltdowning reactors could become the power source of the future.
