The Blue Plaque is on the northern abutment of this Swing Bridge - facing west from the brick wall.

It reads:

	     Swing Bridge
		   is registered by the
	       Heritage Council of Victoria

     Designed by John Grainger and built in 1880-3, this iron
hand-operated swing bridge made river transport to the Port of Sale
  possible and was essential to the development of road and river
		  transport in Gippsland.

	Victorian Heritage Register Number H1438

There is also an Engineering Heritage National Landmark plaque on this brick wall, which appears to have been placed first.
