Argyle Bridge Party is a common reference in absconder records, but presumably refers to a gang -probably working at different locations on the Great South Road (Hume Highway) within the County of Argyle - rather than a specific location. Later these gangs were probably based out of Towrang Stockade and it is conceivable that there may have been an existing road or bridge gang site in the vicinity. This point, positioned near the stockade - is close to the centre of the County and provides some spatial reference.

Latitude-27.475538 Longitude153.028756
Description
Argyle Bridge Party is a common reference in absconder records, but presumably refers to a gang -probably working at different locations on the Great South Road (Hume Highway) within the County of Argyle - rather than a specific location. Later these gangs were probably based out of Towrang Stockade and it is conceivable that there may have been an existing road or bridge gang site in the vicinity. This point, positioned near the stockade - is close to the centre of the County and provides some spatial reference.
