Description: 2 photographs mounted on board. Dobson collection Handwritten on verso: Bridge over Goulburn breakaway near Alexandra. The five spans on left of picture were added after one winter 1932 when the river moved approx 150ft. The photo shows the present perilous state of the approach on the left where two of the upstream piles are laid bare and the approach likely to fall in at any time. The original section of the bridge on the right which served for 12 yrs with only minor repairs is now shown practically on dry land. (Signed) A. M. Wilson Acheron (Vic.) -- History.
