There is no description on the back, however, I found out that the church is: Uniting Church, located in Ross, and the bridge is The Ross Bridge.

Australia - Tasmani, Batman Bridge, Tamar Valley

Batman Bridge, Tamar Valley - Tasmania

Batman Bridge spans the Tamar River in the Tamar Valley which is situated in northern Tasmania.  It was built between 1966 and 1968 and was the first cable-stayed bridge in Australia.  The main span is 206 metrers long and A-frame tower 91 metres high.

This postcard was given to me in 2018.

I was hoping the bridge got its amazing name from the Batman comics or something cool... however, it is named after John Batman, (21 January 1801 – 6 May 1839) an Australian farmer, entrepreneur and explorer.
