This was the sixth trailer load of rocks dumped in the creek bed to support the crossing and reduce erosion. The rocks varied in size from about 1kg up to as big as I could lift with the crane on the trailer. Rocks are from outcrops of Pilliga sandstone nearby, mostly from just near my house.

Can't see where the Creek is meant to go. Through the rock pile?

If you had the time this type of work these guys do would provide you with a bridge

The amount of water, trees, dead stock etc that comes down the creek in heavy rain means that sort of culvert is no better than a pile of rock.

I would of thought over/under and through the rock pile personally.. the difference being that the rock pile is higher so it is a much shallower place to cross
and will provide a good grounding to get some traction rather than the sodden river/creek bed you could potentially bog down in
