The Ophir, Bridge

As we had to cancel our trip into the Hunter because of the station owners sorting out their lambs.
 we headed into the Maniototo I love that name I wonder who came up with it any way we always go over this briged  there's a mirror mounted on the rock on the other side so you can see what coming around the corner, there is are a few old cottages I didn't stopped I should have very pretty with all the flowers around the cottages and in the gardens.
Here's a little history about the bridge.
 The 1880 Daniel O’Connell suspension bridge with its stone piers crosses the Manuherikia River at Ophir. Anchored in solid schist, the bridge is named after the 19th-century Irish nationalist – a reminder of the many Irish gold miners who came to the area.
