Description

Strathroy Bridge crosses Jinglers Creek, about 9 km south of Launceston. It is a lovely stone bridge built in 1835 by convict labour. It is thought to be an early bridge on the Midlands Highway. It consists of bluestone masonry with a single barrel vault that is reasonably high, where it crosses the high banks of Jinglers Creek. Jinglers Creek is named after an outlaw who made the creek his headquarters. In 2012, Strathroy Bridge was added to the Tasmanian Heritage Register. Worth stopping if you're passing. It's on the Old Midland Hwy.
