Remnant Section of the old Tharwa Road in Calwell - looking north-east
Some remnant sections of the old Pine Island and Tharwa Roads in Calwell photographed 28/01/2014.
Tharwa Road was the main connection between Lanyon Homestead and Tharwa Village from the late 1800's until the late 1980's when sections were resurfaced or replaced during the construction of Calwell and Gordon. This section is now part of a cycle path between Calwell and Gordon.
The section of Pine Island Road appears to have been constructed in the mid 20th century as it does not appear on c1940's maps. The earliest map held by ArchivesACT showing this section of road dates to c1970.
