Abstract: In 1988 the 1893 road bridge at Cowra over the Lachlan River, consisting of the only bowstring composite timber and steel trusses in Australia, was threatened with oblivion. This paper describes how a cooperative venture between civil engineering students from the University of New South Wales and the Cowra Shire Council saved one truss span, and located it in the adjacent riverside park as a landmark of engineering heritage.
