Old historic bridge. On the western end below the bridge is John Wright's farm. He grows and sells vegetables like corn, beet roots and millet. He also has beehives and sells honey. He makes and sells brooms made from the stalks of millet plants grown on his farm. His barn is like museum. It has old horse carriages and old farm michineries.

Old bridge in the Hunter Valley, at Swan.
Still there, pass it and didn't fell off. Thats a bonus. Well maintained.
Went to buy local honey down the bridge. Love this place
Amazing construction. Reflections on water nice. Can walk under pylon on town side. Pity no walking path across bridge. 1890's, very few left in NSW.
Morpeth Bridge was opened on 15 June 1898 and crosses the Hunter River. The bridge is of timber trestle construction, employing Allan trusses—it was designed by Percy Allan and built by Mr. S. M'Gill. It has two central iron cylinder span supports fabricated by Mort's Dock. It is currently managed by the Roads and Maritime Services and has recently received repairs to the road surface on the two lanes. The structure is heritage listed by the state government and at the time cost 8,360 to construct.
Bridge too old & narrow for the increase in population due to new development. Does not have a safe cycle lane or alternative route.
