Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Joan HollandPrint Page 
The bridge over the Hacking River was renamed and dedicated after Joan Holland who was president of the Bundeena Progress Association and campaigned for an all-weather road crossing of the river. Her efforts were finally fulfilled when the bridge was opened in 1993. Before then, Bundeena's road access was often cut off in wet weather by floods.
Her daughter, Bronwyn Holland, a Program Director of Women in Engineering and lecturer in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Technology, Sydney, organized the bridge re-naming ceremony on 30 September 2004. The bridge was designed by Sue Lothringer, formerly of the Road and Traffic Authority.
