History edit

A bridge crossing Munna Creek was washed away in 1933, and a temporary crossing provided by Councillor Sauer until a new bridge was built.[5][6][7] In early 1935 a new bridge was opened with 300 people present for the event. The bridge was named Sauer's Bridge as a recognition of Councillor W. Sauer's war services and his efforts to have the bridge constructed.[8][9][10] The bridge has since been replaced by a cement bridge.[10]

In the 2016 census Glen Echo had a population of 31 people.[1]
