The Hampden Suspension Bridge is an historical landmark and is the only surviving suspension bridge in New South Wales that was built during the Australian colonial days. The Hampden Bridge is 77 metres long and was built in the year 1897, and named after Lord Hampden, who was the Governor of NSW from 1895 to 1899. The Hampden Bridge straddles the Kangaroo River with the Kangaroo Valley village nestled beside it.

Taken at the Scotland v Argentina football match at Hampden Park on November 19th, 2008. A typical Scott Brown challenge sees the opponent hit the deck. “Welcome to Scotland, this is how we play!” Unfortunately we lost the match 0-1 but did well against a top side. The boys did us proud. Nikon D60 with 55-200mm lens.

This is from the river looking up at the underneath side of Hampden Bridge. / Single pic HDR (1 RAW image duplicated 5 times, 1/2 EV between each of them. Tonemapped. Using Photomatix) so I could get the best detail in this photo. Still learning with the fine tuning.

Hampden is a small town in North Otago here on New Zealand’s South Island. I was there for a night for a family gathering. I wanted to be with my family as much as possible, but the explorer in me is always itching to see new things. So when I woke up early and all but one person was still in bed, I decided to wander down and explore the beach. What you see here is a small stream from a pond some 60 feet behind where I stood, trickling down to meet the sea. I knelt down and waited patiently for the birds to wander into the centre of the frame before taking the picture, just to give it a little more life.

/ Canon 350D Kangaroo Valley, NSW Designer E M DeBurgh / Builder Loveridge and Hudson of Bowral / / Construction years 1895 – 1898 / Physical description The structure is a suspension bridge crossing a gorge with sheer cliffs on one side and steep banks on the other, with the Kangaroo River running westward beneath it. With a clear main span of 77m, a sag in the cables of 15m, sandstone tower height of 16.8m and height above water also of 16.8m, it is an impressive structure in the local landscape. / The main cables of the bridge consist on each side of fourteen 36mm diameter wire ropes, each with a specified tensile strength of 79.6 tonnes. They are anchored vertically in pits at either end of the bridge and have facility for length adjustment. From here they run upwards, over turning shoes in a sandstone pillbox, turn again at the towers on turning shoes which have rocker bearings, and cross the span with a low point approximately one metre above deck level. The sandstone towers, constructed from sandstone quarried on the site (and possibly elsewhere) are of Gothic style akin to that used for its larger relative, the suspension bridge at Northbridge in Sydney (the central span of which is now a reinforced concrete arch). Each tower has two columns, joined by an arched crossbeam above traffic height. The suspension saddles are located near the level of the top of this beam, and each tower is then topped with an enlarged battlement. From the cables, suspension rods hang in an inclined plane to support the deck. They terminate through crossbeams which were originally timber, but are now of galvanised steel. Sitting on these cross beams, the deck is of longitudinal timber stringers supporting transverse and longitudinal timber sheeting, and is stabilised by vertical side trusses. These have upper and lower longitudinal chords and verticals in timber, with steel rod cross diagonals. Each side of the bridge has two such trusses meeting at the centre of the span at a hinge connecting the lower chords only. This arrangement allows the bridge to articulate as loads move across it, the primary articulation being at the hinge, with secondary articulation provided by the flexibility of the trusses themselves. Lateral bracing is provided by steel angles bolted in a diagonal pattern to the bottom of the crossbeams. The bridge is signposted for a maximum truck load of 42.5 tonnes, with no more than one truck to be on the bridge at a time, and is lanemarked to only provide a single lane (leaving two moderately narrow pedestrian walkways). Some 50m upstream there is a modest weir, and the waters below the bridge sustain a canoe hire operation. / / Information from / Hampden Bridge, Kangaroo Valley

This bridge, spanning the Kangaroo River in the spectacularly beautiful Kangaroo Valley (between the Southern Highlands and South Coast of NSW Australia) was opened in 1898 and named after Lord Hampden, the Governor of NSW from 1895-1899. The bridge is a sandstone and steel structure, suspended on each side by 14 steel cables, 37mm in diameter, with a tensile strength of 79.6 tonnes. (The weight limit on the bridge is about 42 tonnes). The clear span is 77 metres, width 5.5m and the deck is 16.8m above the river. The medieval style towers are 16.8m higher than the decking. The bridge was designed by engineers De Burgh & Allen of the NSW Public Works Department and built at a cost of $16, 764 by contractors Loveridge & Hudson of Bowral. Technical Stuff: Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200 VR lens, hand held 18mm. Aperture priority, 1/100sec f16, ISO 200, pattern metering, auto exp & WB. A bit of PSE3 mucking about. [Nowadays, of course, such a bridge could probably not be built. It would first have to be “mooted”, then subjected to numerous planning & environmental impact statements, (including a tunnel over the river), appeals for and against it to the Environmental Lands Council, the Environmental Protection Authority would be involved as well – not to mention the Occupational Health & Safety Council and the Workplace Authority. Naturally, the Greens would have a blue about all the grey areas in the White Paper tabled in parliament, and the other parties would see red and become purple with rage – or at least be totally browned off. These people are supposed to represent us?? The original budget would be a projected $27.5 million, which, during the 43 years it would take to gain final approval, would blow out to $573 million. During that time, there would be many changes of government, where each side would try to score political points over either going ahead with the project or putting it on the back burner. The State would say it should be a Federal project and they would, of course, argue the opposite. When the bridge would be finally opened in 2093, it would have half the projected lanes and the cost would have blown out to $1.97 billion.]

The Road To Camelot
by Mark MoskvitchThe road to Camelot rose up above a vast and verdant plain
Inspired by the excellent work of Sarah Moore and her image The Road To Camelot I often write in an archaic voice as I enjoy the flow of the words. On being amazed by the Mists of Avalon series of images, I decided to write this piece. / Image Copyright: Sarah Moore 2008

Took this panorama on Tuesday 30th June at the AC/DC concert at Hampden Park, Glasgow, Scotland. No real reason to upload but thought some of my fellow Australian bubblers might like to see the reception they received when the Young brothers came back “home” (for a day at least). 3 separate photos stitched together.
