Although this video shows the little bridge on the Karioi reservoir at Wellington, Dean told me that the bridge George Tait was referring to in the song was the one at Auckland over the Manukau Harbour, between the middle class white suburb of Onehunga and the brown working class one of Mangere. The song alludes to the social bridge that was needed to to join the brown and white cultures. There are indeed strong tides that flow around the piles of that bridge, symbols of the social forces tearing at the unity of Aucklanders

At that time, the dilapidated "old bridge" was probably still in use because of the 12 year strike in building the new one.
