A family in Adelong has found an innovative way to construct a new bridge after flooding washed away the only access route off their farm. 

In late October, up to 100mm of rain fell at Adelong, in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains, washing away a private bridge.

Jenna Roots told Deborah Knight the floods devastated large parts of her property, and they were left with no choice but to get creative.

“One of our neighbours offered us some power poles he had which were the perfect size, and then we got some rubber mesh to build a footbridge.”
