Hobart

The Spiky Bridge is a well-known feature and attraction on Tasmania’s east coast in Australia, but you could easily miss the turnoff because the view is spectacular! It’s well worth stopping along the way to check out this very distinctive colonial construction. The unusual bridge, which is located 7.5 km (4.6 miles) south of Swansea and opposite the beaches of Great Oyster Bay, is part of the old coach road built by convicts that connected Swansea with Little Swanport and the east coast road to Hobart - a much needed route at the time.
