Grafton Bendy Bridge

Grafton Bendy Bridge is one of the Clarence Valley's most recognisable landmarks. Spanning the Clarence River since 1932, this double-deck bridge links Grafton and South Grafton, with a two-lane road running above the railway line. Its distinctive bend makes it a striking piece of Australian engineering that can be experienced by car, by train or on foot.

Pedestrian walkways run along both sides of the rail deck, high above the river. Walkers can start from Bridge Lane near Grafton Railway Station in South Grafton, or from Kent Street in Grafton, crossing on one side and returning on the other for views both up and down the river.

The bridge is one of the most photographed sights in Grafton, especially in the early morning and late afternoon, when sunrise and sunset light up the water.

Keep an eye out for local artwork along the way, a small surprise for those who make the crossing on foot.
