Menary Bridge

Menary Road and Menary Bridge in Woombye are named after pioneer and pineapple grower James Kennedy Menary or J K Menary as his descendants refer to him. He came to Woombye in 1896 and grew pineapples. As well as a pioneering farmer, James Menary was involved in his community. He served as a shire councillor and was also on the Woombye School Committee for 37 years. The bridge over the creek was damaged and partly washed away during one flood and was then temporarily repaired until a new bridge was built. That is the one built in 1948. It took two years to build. Although the road was declared a public road in 1894, the Menary family maintained it for many years in order to transport their pineapples. It was not until the early 1960's that the road was officially named.
