Information

High level concrete bridge on the Peninsula development Road. Spans the sandy Wenlock immediately south of Moreton Telegraph Station. Needs 6.6 metres of water to go under so always open in the Dry. But in the Wet it can be 5 or even 10 metres underwater! Levels above 15 m will start to flood the campground offices.
