In Hobart we have a Bridge of Remembrance. Was built to link the Cenotaph with the Soldiers Memorial Avenue on the Queens Domain. Aim was to remember the service and sacrifice by Australian service men and women in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations including and since World War One.
About 200 years ago there was violent conflict between
people defending their homeland and the British colonists. The inhabitants of
Tasmania were Aboriginals who had lived there for thousands of years. The
majority of the British colonists were convicts. They were punished for a crime
in Britain and often found themselves on the front line in the conflict against
Tasmanian aborigines.
I humbly suggest a memorial to the people ignored in
the Bridge of Remembrance. The people who served and sacrificed themselves in
the violent conflict in Tasmania circa 200 years ago.
I suggest a bridge across the Brooker at Cleary’s
Gate.
