Last trip in Tassie, the SO took a *HUGE* step, and drove across the
(Tasman) bridge..... at night. We had taken a boat tour previously,
where they took us over the site of the Illawarra wreck.
She's shit scared of bridges for some reason....... probably 'coz of the

My sister is the same.
Me.......... I've been jumping off bridges since I was about 15.
