50 years ago, the partially-constructed West Gate Bridge collapsed, killing 35 workers and injuring 18 more. The disaster remains Australia’s worst industrial accident to this day.

Join us in conversation with Tommy Watson and Danny Gardiner of the West Gate Bridge Memorial Committee to learn about that fateful day, their work on the bridge, and their ongoing battle for workplace safety.

This will be an online event. A link will be emailed to registrants the day before the event along with instructions on how to participate.

If you need any help you can contact us by phone 1300 462 542 between 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday, via email at library@hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au, or via Instagram DM or Facebook Message.
