Algebuckina Railway Bridge over the Neales River [Metal Truss] |
| Registered Name |
Algebuckina Bridge |
| Significance |
This is one of the most significant bridges in South Australia, remarkable for its construction and particularly its isolated location. The scale of the bridge reflects the importance which colonial South Australians gave to the proposed railway to Central Australia and beyond. No other item associated with this railway exemplifies to the same extent the immensity of the task of building a transcontinental railway and the dogged determination of nineteenth century South Australians to do so. It is a significant landmark in a remote area. (Railway Heritage of South Australia 1992) |

Disclaimer
While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.
In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
