Caption- "First car over the White Bridge (opened 1921) - a Ford"
Library of New South Wales.
Does it say where in NSW.
Could it be Gundagai?
It was supposed to have a large wooden bridge.

It's not South Australia, we burn them down in big bushfires!
Does not look long enough to be Gundagai
Sorry folks, all available information is in the caption. I will do some hunting to see if I can find out some more though.
It's not the Prince Alfred Bridge at Gundagai. The span over the Murrumbidgee River is made of iron, the rest over the flood plain is made of timber.

Managed to find some further details of the photo-
Contents-
Rossington’s Bridge over Stewarts Brook at Belltrees. Allan truss opened 1921‐ Demolished in 1997. BN 3802 in MBK‐ no other photos
General Note-
Ford Model T was made from 1908-1927
Date is a problem. The bridge is of a type not built new after 1900, although it may have been rebuilt after a flood. If the passenger is Henry Luke White, the bridge is possibly in the Belltrees region. -- Information by A.F. Watson & cataloguer (Nov 1989; Apr 2007)
Allan truss type bridge, variation of a basic Howe truss, built 1893-1899 -- Information supplied by A.F. Watson (Nov 1989)

Dane,
You could let them know that the touring is a 1915-1916 model year.
