Batman Bridge

According to Wikipedia:

John Batman (21 January 1801 – 6 May 1839) was an Australian grazier, entrepreneur and explorer. He settled in the north-east of the Van Diemen's Land Colony in the 1820s, and later as a leading member of the Port Phillip Association he led an expedition which explored the Port Phillip Bay area on the Australian mainland with a view to establishing a new settlement there. He is best known for his role in the founding of the settlement on the Yarra River which became the city of Melbourne, eventual capital of the new Colony of Victoria, and one of Australia's largest and most important cities.

Reports are that John was not a very nice guy and he treated the aboriginals terribly. Nevertheless, there are lot of places where he is memorialized. This bridge across the Tama River is one of these memorials.

Taking care of the park beside the crossing is a rooster!

And his friend the peahen. They were "working the crowd". When a car drove in, these two would come to the vehicle to beg for food.
