This suspension bridge provided access from the early Kilburnie homestead on the north side of the river Light to the stock sheds and workman's cottage on the south side of the river. The property was originally owned by the Faulding, Fisher and Barr Smith families,passing to Francis Rowe,an Old Colonist. In 1898 Mr. Rowe sold the property to Charles Willcox M.L.C. an Adelaide businessman and ex Mayor,who made extensions to the buildings. His son Allen built the footbridge,typical of this style of bridge, with steel cable support and a wooden plank floor. The living redgum supports and the long overall span stretching from tree to tree made this example the most significant of  those surviving in the district.
