Bowtells Swing Bridge — Attraction in Megalong Valley

Bowtells Bridge – A Beautiful Adventure Straight from the Heart

I recently had the chance to visit the newly upgraded Bowtells Swinging Bridge, and I have to say—it was absolutely worth the journey. This new version is not just sturdier, it's also more welcoming, allowing up to five people at once—a big leap from the old bridge that could only take one person at a time!
