Renira1 Lovely big hats aren't they? And more modest beachwear = less sun exposure :)

There is one final way the Hornibrook Highway lives on and that is as part of the community’s intangible heritage – in story, memory, and identity. Popular poet and former Redcliffe resident, Rupert McCall, alludes to this symbiosis between the bridge as a physical site and as a site of enduring cultural meaning in his verse, The Boy on the Bridge Returns (1997): The city doesn’t know me when the Hornibrook’s below me, It’s a homely kind of journey that I’ve come to understand, It’s an ocean breeze that cleanses something stressful from my lenses, My wheels are heading north towards Peninsulated land. The Bay lies like a mirror – non-reflective of its terror, And the blue horizon meets it where the tower comes to view Beneath a seagull-studded ceiling – it conveys a special feeling, And I wonder in my wildest dreams if Oxley felt it too. While the bridge itself is now gone, the Art Deco “tower” still “comes to view” on the journey from Brisbane to Redcliffe, standing as a tribute to local history, the Hornibrook legend, and the flourishing of modernity in Queensland in the early twentieth century.
