Moona Moona before the bridge.

The photo shows the Moona Moona creek crossing before a timber bridge was built in the early 1940's. Before then you had to travel the long way around via Huskisson Road and the College road to reach Vincentia, or take a chance and ford the river.
The bridge that stands there now is a concrete single span, 8.2 m long x 9.7 m wide, built in 2003.

There are now plans before government to build a seperate shared predestrian/cyclist bridge over the creek.
