FREMANTLE superstar Nat Fyfe has taken time out from his holiday in the Maldives to help locals build a bridge.

"I helped out a mate who is a resident on this island to do some bush maintenance," Fyfe wrote on his Facebook page.

"The old bridge had become completely run down and is the only way to get to another island where there is good surf and fishing.

"Probably not going to pass too many safety checks but job done and the locals have access again."

We collected driftwood and rope from another island and brought it back in the dinghy to use in the rebuild. Picture and caption: facebook.com/nfyfe7

Did not have much in the way of tools and building supplies so we had to get creative to rebuild the entry and exit points. Picture and caption: facebook.com/nfyfe7

We recruited a local bloke to apply some finishing touches. He came wearing approved work boots. Picture and caption: facebook.com/nfyfe7

Fyfe has also spent time in Norway, Ireland and Germany over the off-season.
