Mark Lennox, the clan’s commissioner for Australia, contributed this article after being fortunate enough to stumble across the Lennox Gardens, in Canberra, Australia. The gardens were established in the 1960s to honour David Lennox, a stone mason and bridge builder from Ayr, Scotland, who immigrated to Australia in 1832 after the death of his wife.

I have visited the Mitchell’s Pass bridge on several occasions.
It appears vandals have been active there the last time I was there!
