I must say I'm highly sceptical of the facts added in this edit [1]

No contemporary mention of her being a guest of honor in the extensive newspaper reports. The comments also sound contrived. I'm not convinced that a travel guide is a sufficient reference, but I'll check the original source today and see if it has any actual reliable source for the material. --Inas66 (talk) 01:12, 20 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

I have read the original source, and it doesn't associate the statment with the opening of the Tharwa Bridge. I have emailed australia.gov.au, and asked them to correct their statement and align it to the source. I have a photo of the source if anyone wants to inspect it. --Inas66 (talk) 02:55, 20 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

The Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet have now agreed to amend the information, and remove the reference to the opening of the Tharwa Bridge. --Inas66 (talk) 01:09, 15 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Just a possible source for opening text:

Note, the preceding comments (above ↑) have a bearing on the use of this source re where it says: "Nellie Hamilton (or Queen Nellie as she was then commonly known) was believed to be the last surviving full-blood member of the Ngunnawal people of the district."
