Ive seen this done on a smaller scale in Queensland, but done on this scale is a feat of both ingenuity, patience and long term vision. The roots of living Ficus elastica trees are trained to grow as bridges to support people going about their business when the stream floods, looks so tranquil and cool, Id love to spend some time there... Has anyone been?

Amazing Sean, might take a long time to be effective but future generations will also benefit.

Scary, sorry sean no way would I walk accross that,

One day I went to my son's house he was laying his technology under the floorboards. I had to walk the narrowst plank of wood. Looking down on joists is not my cuppa tea...

Here is an Image of Indonesian children walking to school...

Have a go at the paths on Hua Shan in China? Looks fun . . .

Nice solid path, and there's even a handrail!


Remember to read the instructions before proceeding


This bit looks a mite more interesting, though, better watch where you tread


You can see, there is somewhere to stand after all


There's a ladder you can use, too


Just don't look down, OK?


I SAID, "Don't Look Down!"


I wonder who built it, and how??
