HFF everyone from a (relatively) safe Western Australia. For the first time ever, living in a remote state on a remote island at the arse-end of the world has been shown to have advantages.

This is underneath the new "Old Bridge" in the centre of Mandurah, linking old Mandurah with Hall's Head. The "New Bridge" is the one in the distance which carries the main road from Mandurah to the south. Both bridges have fishing platforms beneath them.

The old "Old Bridge" which was demolished some three years ago is shown in the PiP. The even older "Old Bridge" which was once the "New Bridge" of course, was demolished some time in the 1950s I think. Confused by what is "old" and "new"? Yeah, but no but ... just crack a cold one and enjoy the view (though you might want to keep an eye out for the wallopers and the wowsers in these socially-distancing times).

A wonderful array of fences, Old Owl! Though, in my opinion, the "old to the second power" bridge was even more photogenic. So what do we call this? Old Owl's New Old Bridge? ;)
Oh, and, gotta say the "arse-end of the world" don't look too shabby either :D

The old Old Bridge was indeed photogenic and there are a number of popular photographs and artworks which celebrated it. Unfortunately it was built from wood and made for a time when there was much less traffic than now (although it was, when it was built, the only way across the estuary and all the trucks heading down from Perth and Fremantle to Bunbury in the south west came through the town and used it to cross). It had been repaired a number of times but many of the timbers were at the end of their efficacy and becoming unsafe and so the bridge had to go. The new one is, however, wonderful and I'll post more photos of it now that I live here once again. Many thanks for your visit and comments. We are, indeed, a very cute arse-end.

Greeting from the safe South Australian arse end of the world...there are advantages to being at the end of the world and the ignored non-Eastern states....
All the same, keep well!
