Opening of the Fitzroy Bridge, Rockhampton, 1881

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Officially opened on 1 January 1881, the Fitzroy Bridge was Rockhampton's first bridge and until the Alexandra Railway Bridge was opened in 1899, it was the only bridge crossing the river. Prior to it being built, residents were ferried across the river on a steam ferryboat.[3] The official ceremony consisted of a procession walking across the bridge, the planting of memorial trees at the northern end and the bridge's designer, Frederick Byerley breaking a bottle of champagne on one of the pedestals at the southern end of the bridge where he "baptised" the structure, the Fitzroy Bridge.[4] Following the official opening, a large crowd gathered at the Criterion Hotel who proceeding to drink a number of toasts in honour of Rockhampton's new bridge.[5] Source en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzroy_Bridge

    Number 54 (with his back to the camera) was Alabama linebacker Lee Roy Jordan. Jordan single-handedly pushed back Oklahoma, 17-0, making 31 tackles in the game. An Alabama sophomore by the name of Joe Namath made the first scoring pass of the game. Standing to the right of Jordan, and directly in front of the President is U.S. Senator Spessard Holland (Democrat) of Florida.
