Eleanor Schonell Bridge
One of the important bits stopping the Eleanor Schonell Bridge from falling into the Brisbane River.
The Eleanor Schonell Bridge is a 390-metre (1,280 ft)-long cable-stayed bridge which crosses the Brisbane River between Dutton Park and the University of Queensland's St Lucia campus opened on 17 Dec 2006, and is the first bridge in Australia exclusively designed for buses, cyclists and pedestrians.
Eleanor Schonell was renowned for her work with dyslexia, cerebral palsy and the education of children with intellectual disabilities.
Ironically that didn't help a 21 year old University student Whitney Heuvel who urged his friends to use a cellular phone to film him jumping off the bridge. Intoxicated, he misjudged the rails and fell to his death.
