Clifden Suspension Bridge, NZ Historic PlacesTrust

Built in 1899 over the Waiau River, the Clifden suspension bridge is an impressive structure built from totara and Australian hardwood, with concrete towers made to look like stone and 28 steel cables. It is a significant engineering achievement and one of the longest bridges in the South Island.

Although no longer open to traffic, the bridge makes for an interesting stroll over the river.
