Good Morning List, As I extract information from the Sydney Morning Herald for www.ryersonindex.org I have found other items of interest I think worth sharing, and this is one from the 13 July, 1888. THE HAWKESBURY BRIDGE. -------- TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Sir, - The concourse of people who went to witness the erection of the second span on the pillars of the new bridge at Peat's Ferry, Hawkesbury River, to-day, will not easily forget the magnificent sight of placing that gigantic mass of engineering skill in its allotted place. This bridge will certainly change the appearance of the Hawkesbury at Long island, where there is but very little improvement since the introduction of the iron horse, save the construction of a road from the railway gates, passing the public school, police station, and the new premises in course of erection by Mr. J Murphy, of Kent and Liverpool streets, Sydney. The refereshments at the terminus upon the steamer General Gordon were inferior, the attendance below the ordinary standard, and the prices infamous. Surely something better can be done here to meet the requirements of passengers, travellers, visitors and tourists. I am, &c., July 12 A VISITOR.
