Bodie Creek Bridge - S51.51.188 degrees W059 degrees 00.972


Just beyond Goose Green is Bodie Creek Bridge. This is the most southerly suspension bridge in the world and is 120 metres long. It crosses the waters of Bodie Creek. Built in the early 1920s, the bridge was made in London costing almost £2300 and shipped to the Falklands. What was it used for? Herding sheep from Walker Creek to Goose Green. It is very dilapidated and unsafe but still incredibly picturesque
