Algebuckina Bridge

Algebuckina Bridge is a historic steel railway bridge spanning the Neales River on the Oodnadatta Track in Far North South Australia. Built in 1891-1892 as part of the Great Northern Railway extension to Oodnadatta, it was the longest bridge in South Australia at 578.8 metres with 19 spans. Now disused and State Heritage-listed, it is a major landmark of the former Central Australia Railway and outback engineering heritage.

Visitors can expect an isolated outback setting on the Oodnadatta Track overlooking the broad, usually dry bed of the Neales River. The long steel girder bridge with its 19 spans can be viewed from the riverbed and from adjacent parking and interpretive signage areas. The surrounding landscape is flat arid plain with the nearby Algebuckina Waterhole. There are no staffed services; the experience is self-guided sightseeing and photography of the historic structure and river environment.
