  Tasman Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On Sunday January 5, 1975, at 9:27pm, the Tasman Bridge was struck by the bulk ore carrier Lake Illawarra, bound for the Electrolytic Zinc Company with a cargo of 10,000 tons of zinc concentrate (AusStats, 2002).
The depth of the river at this point (35 metres) is such that the wreck of Lake Illawarra lies on the bottom, with concrete slab on top of it, without presenting a navigation hazard to smaller vessels.
The breakage of an important arterial link isolated the residents in Hobart’s eastern suburbs – the relatively short drive across the Tasman Bridge to the city suddenly became a 50 kilometre journey via the estuary's next bridge at Bridgewater.

To get there turn south off the Illawarra Highway, just past the County Inn at Robertson, cross the railway line, turn left again at the T-intersection into South St and proceed about 100 m to the car park on the right.
Alternatively, if you head east of Robertson along the Illawarra Highway to Macquarie Pass, which leads precipitously down a section of the Illawarra escarpment to Albion Park, you will pass through the beautiful rainforest scenery of Macquarie Pass National Park.
If you turn off the Illawarra Highway, just east of Robertson where the highway bends to the left, and turn right into the Jamberoo Rd, then, after 10 km, you will come to a signposted turnoff to the right which takes you to Nellies Glen Picnic Area and Carrington Falls.

The far South Coast is clearly a beautiful part of NSW, and some of the estuaries can take your breath away.

It's not a particularly steep ascent, but what made Macquarie Pass so selective in the "Bank Race" was its length - from Sydney, you have to drive a further 500km south to the Snowy Mountains to experience a climb longer than this in New South Wales.
As I reminisce about old times, I make a right turn at Albion Park along the Illawarra Highway that in 25km or so will take me to the foot of Macquarie Pass.
Having said that, I can't expect to feel totally at ease on a bike I've only been on for a few weeks.
