The Batman Bridge built in 1966 - 1968 was the first cable stayed bridge in Australia is only about 30 minutes from home with a good run. It was named after John Batman, a Tasmanian pioneer and the founder of the city of Melbourne.
The photos were taken on different days over time.
Several years ago people used to park their caravans all in the above area, there were toilets, picnic tables and the grass was mowed and green, then the local council in the area decided that no one could park their caravans there, toilets were removed and placed in another area, even some picnic tables and chairs were removed. Now the area is just a place to look at the whirlpools in the Tamar River in that area. I guess the locals didn't care for holiday makers and wanted to keep the area for themselves or something like that.
