Footbridge

Description of image

Built in the 1960’s the foot bridge across Brooking Creek allowed foot access from town to the Crossing Inn and the original site of the pioneer’s cemetery. This path is still used today to get from Darlgunaya Community to Fitzroy Crossing via Sandford Road, especially in the wet season as the community can get closed off for days at a time due to flood waters. When the water levels rise it is also a popular fishing spot.
