No full textThis drone image features, Neville Bonner Bridge, Brisbane, Queensland
The Neville Bonner Bridge is a footbridge spanning the Brisbane River in Brisbane, Australia, connecting the incomplete Queen's Wharf precinct in the Brisbane central business district to the South Bank Parklands in South Brisbane. The bridge opened to the public on 28 August 2024
It is named after Neville Bonner, a Queensland politician and Australia's first Indigenous member of the Parliament of Australia.
The design concept for the bridge, by Grimshaw Architects, is an arch and single mast cable-stayed bridge with continuous shading supported by one mid-river pier. A large observation deck is located in the centre of the bridge.
Up to 10,000 people are expected to use the bridge every day.[4] Cyclists will not be permitted to use the bridge. The cost for the bridge's construction was estimated in 2019 to be around $100 million. Prior to the official opening in 2024, a preview event for approximately 500 pedestrians was held on 2 September 2023. (Wikipedia)

Anzac Square
(Adelaide Street)
The Anzac Memorial is located in a park in the center of the city. It was built on land donated by the State and Federal Governments as a tribute to the 60,000 men and women from Queensland who served in the armed forces during World War I. Designed by architects Buchanan and Cooper, the sandstone shrine was funded by public subscription. Brisbane’s first Lord Mayor, Sir William Jolly, oversaw its construction.
At the heart of the memorial is a ring of Doric columns that encircle a bronze urn holding an ‘eternal flame of remembrance,’ which burns continuously. The memorial was officially unveiled by Queensland's Governor, Sir John Goodwin, on Armistice Day, November 11, 1930.
A towering sandstone wall at the rear of the park creates a striking backdrop to the memorial and serves as a visual contrast to the nearby Central Railway Station with its red-brick architecture.
Each year, remembrance ceremonies for Queensland's fallen soldiers are held at the Shrine. Beneath the Shrine is a crypt containing plaques that honor individual units of the Australian armed forces. The crypt is open to the public, with access provided through a subway under the monument.
