I found this bridge a few years ago whilst exploring the area and
was impressed with its size and construction, its a little
different from other bridges in the area. The bridge is located
just off the Oxley Highway a few klm's west of the village of Long
Flat. If you visit the bridge and are heading towards the coast
make sure you stop and have a drink at the famous Long Flat Pub.
The Kindee bridge was designed by DMR engineers V. Karmalsky and
A.T. Britton. The steel was sourced from Newcastle and the timber
was supplied locally. The contractor employed to build the bridge
R.B Hayden was unfortunately killed during its construction and the
work was completed by the DMR. The bridge was opened on December 19
1936 at a total cost of 5,000 pounds. The bridge is still in use
today.
