    That is Citadel Motors on the left, at the corner of Brunswick and Sackville Streets. The lot is currently occupied by Cambridge Suites.

Sketch of the railway bridge over the Bremer River on the Ipswich line, ca. 1866

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Bremer River Rail Bridge is a heritage-listed railway bridge off Bremer Street, North Ipswich, City of Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. It was built from 1865 to 1915. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 11 December 2006. The first Bremer River bridge was designed by Sir Charles Fox and Son and pre-fabricated in Britain. This may explain the pin-jointed members, as these would have simplified the task of assembly in an economy with little skilled labor and unsophisticated manufacturing technology.[1] It was a deck-type iron bridge with pin-jointed lattice girders on cast-iron cylinder piers. It had substantial abutments (extant) made from sandstone, similar to that used in the abutments of the Heiner Road Bridge over the former Wharf Branch Line. The stone is believed to have been quarried locally at Denmark Hill. Comprising three spans of 150 feet (46 m), it was 67 feet (20 m) above the high tide level. 12 feet (3.7 m) of the width of the bridge was reserved for rail and 23 feet (7.0 m) for general traffic. It was an uncommon example of a road-rail bridge and this explains its wide abutments. The Bremer Bridge was described in the Brisbane Courier (1 August 1865) as "the most important structure on the first section of the line". The Bremer River Rail Bridge and old bridge abutments are made up of a railway bridge that is still in use and the sandstone abutments of two bridges, now removed, that was located immediately to the east of it. On the south side of the river, the bridge and abutments are set in riverside parklands in the business center of Ipswich. The north side of the bridge and the adjacent north bank abutments is situated in commercial development. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bremer_River_Rail_Bridge

Pedestrians on Macdonald Bridge [Natal Day?]

  • scosborne said:
    I remember walking the bridge on Natal Day as a child in the 1980's. At least one year they had all the MacDonald's mascots there. Grimace and Hamburglar were terrifying at full size.
