This suspension footbridge is a jewel in the Museum park. It was officially opened in July 1977 by the Premier of NSW, the Honourable Nevill Wran. The bridge is 72 m long and spans a deep gorge. Local volunteers removed the bridge from the Walker's property at Broger's Creek and re-sited it at its present location. The dairy farmer George Walker originally built the bridge with the help of the local blacksmith.
Just walking on this bridge sees it get quite a swing up so I had to wait to take photographs. It & the museum are well worth a visit & the cost is minimal.
