By the way, that's one H%$# of a "creek". Is this a tidal river?

"Someone else complained that the bridge is very narrow, with a very sharp turn at the approach which made it quite difficult to use. Well guess what? Sheep have a tight turning circle. Anyway, I'll forgive him because he has posted a couple of really nice pictures."

I take the comment about protecting the site from children, but the bridge is very remote. There is no habitation for miles around and it is no longer a through road anyway. So I don't think it is likely that children would stray onto the bridge without an adult being present.
I did discuss the saftey issues with the Falkland Islands Tourist Board when I was building the website and they said not to worry about it. They have put up safety warning signs and barriers to make sure people know it's not safe.
Such a shame. It was a magnificent structure in its day, but has simply been allowed to decay over the years.
