Abstract

This paper is a case study of an iron Whipple truss railway bridge just west of Lewisham, Sydney. The bridge was built in 1886, and is the only one of its type on the railway system in New South Wales, and is therefore, of engineering historical interest. This paper shows how and from where, the historical information was obtained. Historical research is fraught with frustrations and disappointments, but there are feelings of elation when patient searching is rewarded by disclosure of the relevant information.

"... the rengitj, as a visible mark or imprint on the land, is characterised as a place of origin, the repository of all names, as well as a kind of mapped visual expression of the connection between people and places which is to be carried out in the temporal sequence of the journey."
