Looking south....or is that west?
This view of the Story Bridge in Brisbane is taken from the opposite side to that which I uploaded last week. This one looks outbound down Main Street to Wooloongabba where there was a massive fiveways corner in years past that eventually led in many directions including east, south to the Gold Coast and west to Ipswich.
This end commences above the Howard Smith Wharves complex on the top of the cliff in Fortitude Valley ("The Valley") and New Farm. It lands on suburban Kangaroo Point on the other side above Captain Burke Park. If you look carefully you can see the Petrie Bight end of the city on the right side of the bridge and also get the impression of the near 180 degree loop the river forms here. Upstream is to the right along Eagle Street.
You can walk to the top of the bridge but it isn't as tall as the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
