Hampden Bridge

A famous structure in Kangaroo Valley is Hampden Bridge.  It was designed by Ernest De Burgh and opened in 1898.  Sydney folk will be familiar with De Burgh's Bridge over the Lane Cove River.  The current Lane Cove River bridge replaced a fire-damaged bridge that had been designed by De Burgh.
