But we've reached the Story Bridge - one of the first bridges in Brisbane - build in the same style and by the same company that built the iconic Sydney Harbour bridge...
Wonderful monochrome image Rob its full of lovely shapes and patterns, driven and walked this bridge a few time whilst visiting my niece living in Shorncliffe north of Brisbane:)
A nice view with good leading lines - fav! Dorman Long of Middlesborough, England built the bridge. Prior to the building of the Sidney Harbour bridge they had built a bridge of a very simular style across the River Tyne in Newcastle, England.
@jerzyfotos Hi. That extra mesh fencing may have been a recent addition. There was a horrific incident on a different bridge a few years ago - a man threw his baby daughter off the bridge... Most of our bridges now have high protective fences.
Hi Merrelyn and Wylie. It's got such good views - and forms part of a super walk from the CBD through the Botanic gardens - across the walk-bridge to South Bank - down the river past the Maritime Museum and the cliffs at Kangaroo Point and into The Valley - where there just happens to be a couple of craft breweries Errol likes. :)
@granagringa Hi Granagringa - It's even better to walk along it at night - it's all light up and amazing. You can even book a tour to climb up to the top of the towers and walk along those beams.. :)
@pcoulson Hi Peter - you would recognize quite a few of these images - so many good views. It's also a part of a wonderful circuit walk from the CBD - up and around the Botanic Gardens and down the other side of the river to and across the bridge. Can recommend it! :)
