PWD Road is a good example of a hand knapped and pitched road that demonstrates a technique no longer used, and the influences of the local action group, and politics.
NO SITE INSPECTION IN 2016
The PWD Road was constructed from Monument Hill to Greenwood prior to Cowalla Road. Constructed by Government unemployment relief works as a result of action by the Moore River and Gingin Brook Progress Association formed in 1922, to obtain a motor road to the Cowalla Bridge, for the river residents. Progress was halted when Government changed and was never completed.
