On October 27, 1945, Mrs. Juanita Dunlop gave birth to a baby boy while traveling in an ambulance across the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
“At the time Mrs. Dunlop said that she would not give the baby any fancy names,” but her husband later decided that he wanted to add the word “bridge” to the baby’s name.
So their son was christened Robert Bridge in late December at the Methodist Church in Manly, New South Wales.
The Dunlops’ two older children, both boys, were named Stephen and Richard.
