'''Bridgewater Jerry''' is a fog formation that occasionally appears over the [[River Derwent (Tasmania)|River Derwent]] in [[Hobart, Tasmania]] and down the [[Derwent Valley Council|Derwent Valley]]. It is named after the suburb of [[Bridgewater, Tasmania|Bridgewater]], and the word "jerry" may have come from convict slang for 'fog' or 'mist'.<ref name=James /> It was probably first described in 1821, when Governor [[Lachlan Macquarie]] was stranded at [[Austin's Ferry]] because of fog.<ref name=James /> |
