  Um, sorry! - this aint Roseville (or Rosevile) Bridge on Middle Harbour. Gotta love Series 4481 ! It is Fig Tree Bridge on the Lane Cove River. Built 1885 and since replaced by the current bridge (1963) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fig_Tree_Bridge . Hunters Hill in the background.

  Rosevile in Roseville bridge is spelt incorrectly "I think".
