Description

The Algebuckina Bridge is a Victorian era railway bridge located about 55 kilometres south-east of the town of Oodnadatta. The bridge was built over the Neales River to allow the Ghan train to cross during floods. The Algebuckina Bridge is easily accessible from the Oodnadatta track, approximately 56km south of Oodnadatta and 145km north of William Creek. Do not attempt to walk across the bridge. Remain within the safety barricades. This area is prone to flooding. It is recommended that if rain is falling you make your way to either William Creek or Oodnadatta ASAP and assess the weather forecast. If wet weather is forecast it would be wise to make your way to the bitumen if possible. Do not attempt to travel through flooded waterways. Use the designated camping area if overnighting. Take your rubbish with you. Respect the landscape. Respect the biosecurity.
