Ideraway Bridge

The most unusual bridge in Queensland. This bridge is located on the Maryborough to Gayndah railway line, not far from Gayndah. It is technically called a deck-type pin-jointed fishbelly truss main span bridge. The truss was originally used as falsework in the construction of Macrossan Bridge across the Burdekin River near Charters Towers. A case of waste not, want not.
