Some great bridge stamps - thanks for scanning.

Here's an Auckland bridge stamp from the 2009 NZ set of 4 - and a PC



Opened in 1959, the Auckland Harbour Bridge was one of the most significant infrastructure projects New Zealand had ever undertaken. Soaring over the waters of Waitemata Harbour, it provided a much-needed link between the North Shore and Auckland City – with long-term benefits for residents, businesses and New Zealand as a whole.

You can find the whole set at this link
