Memorial Bridge
Brooweena-Woolooga Road, (21km south of Brooweena), Gigoomgan, Qld.
A timber bridge over a small creek west of Maryborough leads nowhere today yet it stands as a tribute to a family's nationalism post-WWI.
It was designed and funded by Mr LS Smith of Mount Joseph Station and is the only known privately-funded memorial bridge in Queensland, perhaps even Australia. Apart from the masonry piers, it was built by station hands, some of whom were returned servicemen.
This bridge was closed to traffic on 16 June 1972.
Thanks steptoe.
