Description
Wandiligong, near Bright in North Eastern Victoria, Australia is a village of less than 300 residents but was once home to approximately 3,000 during the Victorian Goldrush in the 1850's. A highlight of the area is the Chinese Swing Bridge which is a tribute to the large number of Chinese who lived in the Wandiligong area during its gold rush days.
The whole town is now registered with the National Trust as a classified landscape and features historical buildings such as the Manchester Unity public hall (built in 1874), the general store, several churches and a number of quaint cottages. Wandiligong is a photographer's delight in autumn when the many European trees that have been planted in the area are ablaze with color.

I really like the color of this bridge against the natural green background - quite nice!

I love when they join structure and ART such as this you know they put thought into it. Love how you captured it Linda!

Thank you very much for your kind comment Eunice. It is very unusual to find a Chinese Bridge in the middle of an Australian forest.
