Gobbagombalin Bridge Petition

A petition calling for the duplication of the Gobbagombalin Bridge, located on the Olympic Highway at Wagga Wagga, is currently underway and attracting strong interest from across the Riverina.

Following a resolution of Council at its December meeting, Temora Shire Council is making printed copies of the petition available for signing at Council-owned facilities.

Community members can sign the petition at:

If the petition reaches the required number of signatures (10,000), it will be formally tabled for consideration by the NSW Government, providing an opportunity for the community’s views on this important regional transport link to be heard.

Before the release of AutoCAD in 1982, the process of creating engineering drawings was entirely manual. Engineers and drafters relied on a variety of tools, such as different grade pencils, erasers, T-squares, and set squares, to carefully craft their designs. Each line had to be drawn with precision, and any mistakes could require starting the drawing from scratch, which made the process time-consuming and often frustrating.

The labor-intensive nature of these drawings posed additional challenges, especially when modifications were necessary. If changes were requested, engineers and toolmakers had to erase sections or completely redo large portions of their work. The uncertainty about whether adjustments would be required added to the stress, as every draft could feel like a fragile final product until it was approved.

With the introduction of AutoCAD, the drafting world transformed. Designers and architects now use digital tools that allow for easy revisions with just a few clicks. The convenience of digital drafts, combined with the ability to store and share them quickly, has revolutionized the field, making it far less labor-intensive and more efficient. This shift has allowed professionals to focus more on creativity and innovation rather than worrying about the time-consuming aspects of manual drawing.

The discovery of three to four floors buried underground may sound like an incredible find, but in reality, it is the Porta Nigra, a remarkable Roman structure located in Trier, Germany. The Porta Nigra, meaning "Black Gate" in Latin, is an ancient city gate that dates back to the 2nd century AD. It stands as one of the best-preserved examples of Roman architecture in the world and has long been a symbol of Trier's rich history. The gate, originally built as part of the city's fortifications, was later used as a church and underwent various modifications over the centuries.

The structure’s burial beneath the earth is due to changes in the surrounding landscape over time. As Trier expanded, the city’s ground level gradually rose, eventually covering parts of the gate. What remains visible today is only the upper portion of the Porta Nigra, while the lower floors were once hidden beneath layers of soil and sediment. Archaeological excavations have uncovered the full extent of the gate’s construction, revealing the hidden floors that had been buried for centuries.

Today, the Porta Nigra stands proudly as a testament to Roman engineering and the city of Trier's historical significance. Visitors can explore its ancient walls and take in the views of the city from the top. The uncovering of the hidden floors only adds to the intrigue and historical importance of this magnificent structure, offering a glimpse into the past and the architectural prowess of the Roman Empire.
