The Peterson Creek Rail bridge was constructed in 1957 -1958. It is located at Yungaburra on the Atherton Tablelands, North Queensland Australia.
The Bridge was used to connect the township of Kairi to Yungaburra and crossed Peterson Creek which runs into the now Tinaroo Dam catchment.
The bridge is accessible by foot from Pinnacle Pocket road,a walk of 500 mtrs via the old rail cutting. The tracks and sleepers have all been removed.
You can not walk across the bridge, as there are fences at either end to prevent cattle and humans from crossing it.
