The new Nelligen Bridge has long been completed, and a very elegant bridge it is too, as it sweeps across the Clyde River, but they're still working on the pedestrian walkway leading up to it from the Batemans Bay side. And what a walkway it is: a wide concrete strip topped off with a huge handrail you couldn't jump over - come to think of it, that's probably the whole idea behind it.
It's a huge handrail which they are building at a huge expense, and it's all for the very occasional pedestrian fit enough to cross the 375-metre-long bridge on foot. So far it's only been us as we watch each morning with great interest all that concreting and earthworking going on.
Nelligen is now the only town with a handrail visible from outer space.
