rush hour... :-) -- Seen on your photo stream. ( ?² )

Your bang on the money, its Fredrick street north, right outside the entrance of the garden of remembrance today. One of the buildings has a distinct archway on the entrance and the wall surface is different to all the others in the row. This building is still the same today. :) maps.google.ie/maps?q=frederick+street+dublin&hl=en&a...

PS. I'm a big fan of the collection. Is this collection displayed anywhere I can view them? and can copies be obtained? I've come across a few buildings that have some significance with my family and it would be nice to have a copy. Thanks. :)

Burnett Bridge is a heritage-listed road bridge crossing the Burnett River from Quay Street, Bundaberg Central to Perry Street, Bundaberg North in Bundaberg, Bundaberg Region, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Alfred Barton Brady and built in 1900. It is also known as Burnett River Traffic Bridge. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. In the 1870s the first bridges were built as ferries could no longer cope with increasing traffic across the River. It was in the 1880s, however, with the establishment of the sugar industry in the region, that Bundaberg boomed. Handsome and substantial masonry buildings began to rise in the city as evidence of its growing importance and prosperity. The first bridges were timber and became weakened by heavy traffic. Two more substantial metal replacements, not only capable of taking heavier loads but of matching the general upgrading of Bundaberg's commercial center were planned. The smaller of the two, over Bundaberg Creek, a tributary of the Burnett River and the eastern boundary of the city, was opened in December 1899 and is known as the Kennedy Bridge. When it was opened the Burnett Bridge was the fifth-longest metal truss bridge in Australia. Although the river had been bridged by the Burnett railway bridge in 1891, the traffic bridge was viewed by the public as being of great importance for the continuing progress of Bundaberg. Burnett Bridge joins Quay Street, Bundaberg with Perry Street, North Bundaberg, across the Burnett River. It is 412 meters (1,352 ft) in length and has eight 51.9 long spans with cylindrical piers and concrete abutments. The bridge carries a 7.3 meters (24 ft) roadway and a footpath. The road is on transverse metal troughing spanning between the lower chords of hog-back lattice trusses. The bridge has aesthetic appeal and is an important landmark in the city. The spans of the bridge are supported by pairs of piers in the form of Tuscan order columns with circular cross-bracing between them producing a striking effect. It is an important example of its type and combines technical quality with aesthetic appeal, making a substantial contribution to the Bundaberg townscape. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnett_Bridge
