Majors Creek local historian Brian McDonald unveiling the plaque and plinth for the local community at the newly named Ludwig Baumgardner Bridge at Back Creek, Long Flat on Wallaces Gap road. A small group of local identities gather for the modest little ceremony where we heard about Ludy from Brian. Big thanks to Matt and Steve from the Progress association and for the support of QPRC councillors and staff. Hopefully more names and plaques for the village in the near future.
