Description

This bridge was built back in the 30's by a government scheme for the unemployed..the paid them 2 bob per single man and 5 for a married man per week..food and tents were supplied for sleeping, rather a chilly place in winter for a tent and no hot water! but times were tough and i guess back in those days that was decent pay for a hard days work. as you can see by the thumbnail, this was how they started building the bridge which took around 5 years to officially open...and the road leads up to a beautiful mountain top, Paluma, which is 2935 feet or so above sea level...what a view!

Great backstory and old bridge. Looks like a troll might live underneath!

love the textures and colors on the stones. My dad was in the CCC. He did not build this bridge but it keep him alive.
