About this image

DescriptionPeter Kerr.."This is the White bridge site, named for an earlier White bridge, over the Bealey River between Arthur's Pass Township and the top of the Pass. There were concrete piers between the main truss span and approach spans at each end. Top of far pier can be seen. Yorkeys was rock to rock with no approach spans."

Robert Porter Done that a couple of times when I was in the boys brigade. We use to get sponsors that paid by the kilometers we walked or just a fixed amount. As a fundraiser

The first time that I went over Arthur’s Pass I walked over it 1967

the left rail looks a bit dodgy still it's not raining.

At least once each school holidays wasn't much else to do living in Otira except some great walks, up kellys creek was a good one too.
