Overview
The Bridge Builder is the story of Rybarz’s father, an engineer whose life's work helped shape the infrastructure and landscape of South Australia. Beverley Rybarz combines memoir, biography, and historical context to document her father's role in building bridges—both literal and metaphorical—across regions and communities. The book offers insight into postwar engineering, public works, and family legacy.

Note
Includes colour and black-and-white plates, facsimiles, and historical context. An excellent addition to collections on local history, engineering, or personal biographies.
