South Beach Road Bridge

At high tide in this sleepy surf town you can experience a local rite of passage.

Overview

It seems like every small town has a slightly hazardous rite of passage that provides endless stories — both good and bad. In Brunswick Heads, this initiation involves making the leap from the South Beach Road Bridge into Simpson's Creek about four metres below.

With the creek providing a wonderful swimming spot at high tide, dozens of people — young and old — test their mettle on a hot summer's day. There's every reason to get involved, but do take caution if you decide to take the leap from this 85-year-old wooden bridge.
