Completed in 1919, the Abercrombie bridge is an Allan type timber truss road bridge, and is a rare example of the Allan trusses built in the post World War I period. In 2016 it is in good condition being recently refurbished. The bridge provides a single lane carriage way with a minimum width of 4.6m. The guard rail was of timber post and rail construction and extends the full length of the bridge.

Looking to get back to nature, but still want the luxury of a hot shower after a day of adventure? Abercrombie Caves campground is for you.
The first thing you’ll notice when you arrive here is the tranquil creek running through the camping area, with its clear waters and shady surrounds. Find yourself a grassy spot anywhere alongside the creek and pitch a tent or park your caravan.
Join one of the cave tours and be amazed at the incredible formations. Check out the magnificent waterfall on Grove Creek Falls walking track, or try your luck trout fishing or fossicking in the creek.
Then head back to your campsite, throw a steak on the barbecue and enjoy the relaxing sounds of the nearby waters. As the sun sets, listen closely to nature’s orchestra, and keep your torch handy to spy possums in the trees or a wombat waddling past.
