- This 8 minute video clip tells the story of New Zealand's Central Otago Bannockburn Bridge crossing from the first gold mining trails in 1867 until the present day.
Really enjoyed that! Damn that dredge came close to the bridge... glad the guy was alright.
Outstanding video! THANK YOU! Research, script, photos and the old video...wow!
My wife and I married in the Bannockburn community church in 2018 and whenever we crossed the current bridge I knew -some- history was there. So great to know what you shared here! Thank you!
Thanks for doing this Scott!! I didn’t realise how deep the new bridge footings were. I got to walk over the dam when it was finished but empty and got to look over the impressive 100m vertical drop to the base, so I guess the river bottom wouldn’t be much less deep at Bannockburn.
Thanks for the kind words. It was some impressive engineering. Since the lake filling, there is a lot of silt build-up in the area so not so deep now.
Great video, answered some questions for me, thanks for making it
Oh wow Scott - I didnt realise it was you who has created this, your really good at doing this.
Great video. Your clips are gold
Thanks very much. Appreciated.
