Princes Bridge
The Princes Bridge in the photo is the third bridge built on this spot, the first in 1844 from wood, the next in 1850, being the longest single span bridge in the world and made from sandstone. This bridge was given the Princes name, so named after Edward, Prince of Wales at the time.
The discovery of Gold in Victoria made the bridge too small for the massive jump in traffic for both sides of the river. A new, larger bridge was planned and begun in 1886, finished in 1888. See more about the Princes Bridge in the Melbourne Australia Places section.
