You can see the Blue Bluffs downstream from the bridge. We used to put boulders on the seat of our bikes and drop them over the edge into the river. Every now and then there was an insurance claim when handbrakes failed and cars went hurtling over the bluff to land in the river below. It was an ideal place to get a puncture and have the hand brake fail when it was being fixed.

Ah, the old Zig-Zag road, I remember it well, back in the forties.

Was this where the farmer got his place dug up and he found the law was on the side of the miner?
Passmore Stewart his name?

Pete Lusk downstream a bit from here. "Faces of the River" published in 1986 by TVNZ has a chapter on it.

Hamish White
Pete Lusk the miners who were supposed to build a sports ground for the community but never did as well

Always struck me as a bit of a bridge to no where (once the Stanley Gooseman bridge was built), especially if the forestry road from Inchbonnie to Camerons had been better developed.
