This is the Tasman Bridge, which crosses over the Derwent River in
Hobart, Tasmania.
This photo was taken from Rose Bay, on the east bank of the Derwent River.
This bridge gained a lot of media attention in 1975, when a section in the centre of the bridge collapsed after one of the bridge's pylons was hit by the bulk ore carrier Lake Illawarra. Four cars fell off the bridge, killing five people, and seven crew members on the Lake Illawarra drowned when the ship sank.
