The previous cache at this bridge is no longer listed, but the bridge deserves a cache, hence the return of the Hinton Bridge cache.
From the Hertiage Council Website:
Bridges are not just functional, they can also be scenic and engineering attractions so spare some time to admire Hinton Bridge over the Paterson River. Completed in 1901, Hinton Bridge is an Allan timber truss road bridge and it is one of only three lift bridges in the Hunter region, which in the past accomodated river steamers that travelled the Hunter River system. As a timber truss road bridge, it has many associational links with important historical events, trends and people, including the expansion of the road network and economic activity throughout NSW, and Percy Allan, the designer of this type of truss.Β
