Stone bridge across Little Crystal Creek. The bridge was constructed during the depression of the 1930’s. Two tractors and a couple of trucks were the only mechanical aid. Employment lasted six weeks for single men, ten weeks if married. The pay was two bob a day with two men per tent. Local stone was cut from the surrounding rock using hand drills and dynamite.
