Subcollections
Overview

A black & white photo of a large expanse of water covering the old Toodyay Bridge, the remnants of which can be seen in the riverbed next to the current Newcastle Bridge.
Telephone line pole tops (on the left-hand side) are above the waterline. The footbridge railing can be seen on the right-hand side. Two buildings can be seen on the opposite bank to the left of the road, which swings away to the right. The point of view may be on the town side looking towards north Toodyay. Trunks of the large trees on the right are partly submerged.
