Fullers Bridge

Fullers Bridge crosses the Lane Cove River in suburban Sydney, Australia. The main road from Chatswood to North Ryde, crosses the bridge. It was built in 1918.[1]

The main entrance to Lane Cove National Park is located adjacent to Fullers Bridge. Fullers Bridge is named after the Fuller family which operated a farm on the small area of agriculturally usable land which existed on the river banks at that location, in the late 19th century.

Up until the early 1960s a kiosk and general store existed on the northern side of the bridge, and was accessible from both sides of the river by the northern pedestrian footbridge.

Fullers bridge played a part in a famous Australian mystery, with the bodies of Dr Gilbert Bogle and Mrs Margaret Chandler being discovered on the banks of the Lane Cove River, 70 metres south of the bridge, on 1 January 1963.[2]
