Algebuckina Bridge, Railway bridge in Allandale Station, South Australia
The wrought iron bridge spans 587 meters across the Neales River floodplain with nineteen spans supported by cylindrical cast iron piers.
The bridge opened on January 8, 1892, as part of the Great Northern Railway extension, requiring 352 workers to complete the construction.
The structure represents Victorian engineering methods and the determination to establish reliable transportation infrastructure in South Australian outback conditions.
Located 58 kilometers south of Oodnadatta, the bridge remains accessible for visitors following the heritage trail along the former railway route.
Three large rocks near the northern approach represent frogs according to Aboriginal stories about water creatures traveling down Neales River.
