Annabell begins tunnelling today

Annabell, Joyce and Saint Barbara. For the religious and spiritual amongst us, the project was blessed before tunnelling began and an image of Saint Barbara placed at the entrance to the tunnel.

Friends of ANZAC Park wish all a safe journey through the Legacy Way tunnel project.

Saint Barbara

Patron saint of miners, builders, stonemasons, and those who work with explosives.

 

 

The tunnel boring machines have been named to acknowledge war heroes. "Annabell" is named after Annabell MacKinney, the daughter of the late Lance Corporal Jared MacKinney who was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2010. "Joyce" is named after Joyce Tweddell, a nurse during World War II, a prisoner of war in Sumatra for three years and afterwards, Queensland’s chief radiographer.
