There are no records for the Wollombi Bridge party in 1835, the best information you can easily access about the work done by and food, conditions etc of Bridge parties is in Convict Road Gangs 1826 to 1836 by Ian Webb a 54 page monograph published 2003 available by interlibrary Loan or for sale the Convict Trail Project What happened to convicts past 1839. It was assignment to private individuals that was stopped, convict under sentence continued to work for the government and be assigned to various work parties, sometime in the 1840s a large number got ticket of leaves, CP's etc. I do not know of any publication about the winding down of the system, it is not my particular area of interest. Someone else may know the end of the system in more detail.
