Tasman Bridge and Mount Wellington Hobart. Prepaid Australia Post card.

The Tasman Bridge was opened in 1964, but on 5 January 1975 part of it collapsed when a ship collided with it. When it was rebuilt the spacing of the piers was uneven, as they were spaced around the ship still laying on the seafloor below.  This photo seems to be have been taken after the bridge was reopened in 1978 as the closer pier spacing is uneven.
