The Sandridge Bridge over the Yarra River was first built in 1853, the second bridge built 1858, and the current bridge seen here built in 1888. It is a former rail bridge for the Port Melbourne and St Kilda railway lines, first rail crossing of the Yarra, converted to pedestrian use in 2006.
A Melbourne Water barge involved in waterway conservation and maintenance is carrying a load of timber that has been collected from waterways in a clean-up operation.
