it's the same thing, I don't mind either way, but I'd ask the reason for this longer naming style ? (note, I authored the other one)

I undid it because this was one of the ones left up in the air in that discussion because "Wallaby Rocks" is not an actual place name. I feel like, in the absence of a better idea, the other former article (
Wallaby Rocks Bridge) might be the best name for this. It was only ever at this title because I didn't find the existing article before I created the SHR one - if I had, I'd have merged it at that title.

move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Bridge over Turon River at Wallaby Rocks → ? – It looks very messy as it is now. There is some historical evidence of the bridge being called the Wallaby Rocks Bridge, most especially in newspaper reports covering the opening of the bridge in 1897. The NSW GNR lists several places with the title Wallaby Rocks; most notably the ...cliffs near the Turon River about 2 km NW by W of New Zealand Point and about 2 km NE by E of Lower Wallaby. Hence, it's confusing to say that "Wallaby Rocks" is not an actual place name. Editors are invited to vote on three options, namely:
It was originally at Wallaby Rocks Bridge; had I found the existing article when rolling out the SHR articles it would be there already. "Wallaby Rocks" might be a place name, but it's not a locality name, so using the locality format is confusing.
