Restored suspension bridge thanks to contributions from bungy jumping revenue. The gorge itself looks mighty impressive.

Visited here during the week. We managed to get a parking although there wasn't much available. Its free and conveniently located. We watched a few people bunjy jump off the bridge and do the swing. There's some information about the bridge and the history. You can get drinks and some food inside and buy tickets for the different activities. Highly recommend, even if just to watch.
