Paringa, South Australia
Paringa is a small town in the Riverland of South Australia. Paringa is famous for its vineyards, almond, citrus and stone fruit orchards, and the steel bridge with a span that can be raised to allow houseboats and paddlesteamers to pass underneath and across the Murray River to Renmark.〔''The Paringa Lift Span Bridge'' Shields, Brian Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin, April, 1998 pp139-142〕 At the 2006 census, Paringa had a population of 946.
==Railway==
The railway line from Tailem Bend was extended north to Paringa soon after it had reached the Brown's Well district, with the official opening on 3 October 1913. However it took another 14 years for the railway to cross the river, when the bridge and the railway to Renmark opened in January 1927.〔 The railway eventually extended to Barmera by August 1928.
The Paringa bridge was designed to carry a single railway line in the centre, with a road lane on each side of it. It has a total of six spans, including one lift span to allow river traffic to pass underneath. It was opened on 31 January 1927, enabling the railway to extend to Renmark.
The railway has closed, but the bridge continues to carry the Sturt Highway as part of the main road link between Adelaide and Sydney.
