Little Crystal Creek Bridge, Heritage concrete arch bridge at Crystal Creek, Australia

Little Crystal Creek Bridge is a concrete arch bridge in Queensland that crosses a waterway with stone detailing along its curved span. The structure rises above the flowing water below and connects the surrounding landscape.

Mount Spec Road and its Little Crystal Creek Bridge were built between 1930 and 1936 under the Unemployment Relief Scheme during the Great Depression. Lobbying for the road had run for about 30 years, driven by tin miners, timber cutters and farmers west of Paluma and by Townsville's interest in tourism and water supply. The road and bridge were added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 30 October 2008.

The bridge is a frequent subject for photographers among Townsville residents, and Little Crystal Creek is one of the most popular natural destinations for people from the city. The road also opened the Paluma Range to tourists, a role promoted since 1902, when a North Queensland Herald correspondent visited the Mount Spec tin mines.

The bridge is located about 61 kilometers north of Townsville and provides access toward Paluma Range National Park. Visitors can find swimming and hiking options in the surrounding area.

The bridge sits about halfway along the 18-kilometre Mount Spec Road, and its concrete arch over Little Crystal Creek is one of the most photographed subjects for Townsville residents and visitors. The road and bridge were added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 30 October 2008.
