He was probably the minister for transport when he opened the road.</p> </blockquote> <p>I hope that it answers your question ok! </p> http://yeppooninfo.com/forum/topic/vin-e-jones-memorial-drive#post-3 Thu, 06 Nov 2008 08:10:22 +0000 admin 3@http://yeppooninfo.com/forum/ <p>Hi Graham, thanks for your question, I don't know the answer to that off my head but I'll contact the historical society and get back to you. </p> http://yeppooninfo.com/forum/topic/vin-e-jones-memorial-drive#post-2 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 22:57:42 +0000 Graham 2@http://yeppooninfo.com/forum/ <p>In between Yeppoon and Emu Park along Kemp Beach is the Vincent Edward Jones Memorial Drive.
