Fairfield Pipe Bridge, Melbourne

From the sublime to the ridiculous. This bridge, built in 1870 carries the gas pipe line over the River Yarra in Fairfield Park, one of three parks clustered along the river as it winds through the suburbs of Melbourne. The bridge is part of the Yarra River Trail for cyclists and pedestrians, although distinctly on the narrow side for cyclists.
