King's Bridge, Iron bridge at Cataract Gorge, Launceston, Australia.
King's Bridge spans 67 meters across the South Esk River, featuring a parallel span addition that matches the original Victorian-era construction design.
The bridge's main span, fabricated in Manchester, England, was transported to Launceston and assembled on site during its construction in 1864.
The structure received recognition through Engineers Australia's Heritage Recognition Program and stands as a testament to 19th-century engineering methods.
The bridge continues to serve as an essential transportation link for vehicles and pedestrians, connecting both sides of the South Esk River.
A second parallel span was constructed locally in 1904 to increase the bridge's capacity while maintaining the aesthetic of the original design.
