We have been coming here for 3 years for a week each January at the nearby Riverbend Caravan Park. In fact this place is full of geocachers from Adelaide most years. It was time to put something back for the local geocachers to find. You will need to bring a pen.
The Paringa Bridge was built in 1927 for the railway extension over the River Murray to Renmark. It is one of South Australia's significant engineering monuments.
The Paringa Bridge was designed so that one of the six steel spans could be raised to allow the river boats to pass through. It carried a single-track railway and also catered for road traffic with cantilevered roadways on both sides of the central spans.
The Paringa Bridge is a State Heritage Place protected by the Heritage Places Act 1993.
