A punt for cars operated at one time beween Blaxland Road, Rhodes and Meadowbank. The Meadowbank Rhodes Railway Bridge and the John Darling & Son Flour Mill, Rhodes can be seen in the background.
The Ryde Bridge, also called the Uhrs Point Bridge, are two road bridges that carry Concord Road, part of the A3, across Parramatta River from Ryde in the northern suburbs of Sydney to Rhodes in Sydney's inner west, in New South Wales, Australia.
The two bridges comprise a heritage-listed steel Pratt truss bridge with inoperable lift span that carries three lanes of northbound vehicular traffic plus a grade-separated pedestrian footpath, completed in 1935; and a reinforced concrete fixed-span bridge that carries three lanes of southbound vehicular traffic, completed in 1988.
History:
A proposal for the construction of a bridge in lieu of a ferry over the Parramatta River, between Meadowbank and Rhodes, was first submitted to the Minister for Public Works in 1913. Owing to funds being unavailable for the purpose, no action was taken until 1920. In July 1924, the Minister for Public Works announced in Parliament that he was prepared to introduce a bill to give the involved councils the power to build the bridge. A site investigation followed, and its results was transferred to the Main Roads Board in July 1928.
The original Ryde Bridge was opened on 7 December 1935 by the Premier Bertram Stevens, accompanied by the Mayor of Ryde. The original bridge is a lift bridge, which was required to allow shipping to pass to the State Timber Yard then located on the southern bank of the Parramatta River, just west of the bridge. However the lifting mechanism was removed in the late 20th century and it has not been opened since. The bridge was paid for by the Ryde Council with the assistance of a grant from the New South Wales Government. The bridge carried a toll for 13 years until the bridge was paid for. In 1948, ownership of the bridge was transferred to the NSW Department of Main Roads.
A new bridge was built on the eastern or downstream side using steel trough girders, closed on top by a composite concrete running deck, and completed in 1987. The second bridge carries southbound traffic, with the original bridge carrying northbound traffic only. It was officially opened on 25 November 1988 by the Premier Nick Greiner and Federal Minister For Transport Ralph Willis.
Before the original bridge was constructed, the Parramatta River was crossed in this area by a vehicular punt, just downstream of the Meadowbank railway bridge. The southern ramp still exists near the southern end of the railway bridge, however the northern ramp has been covered over by Meadowbank ferry wharf.
Heritage significance:
Ryde Bridge has rarity value at a State level and historical significance locally. Ryde Bridge spans the Parramatta River between Church Street in Ryde (Uhrs Point) and Concord Road in Rhodes, replacing an earlier ferry service between these two points established in the late nineteenth century. It is rare at a state level because it is the only lift span bridge on Sydney Harbour and its tributaries (although the mechanism to operate the vertical lift span has been removed). Ryde Bridge, constructed in 1935, is also a relatively rare example of a steel truss bridge with a lift span in NSW. By the early 1950s, the bascule span was the preferred option for bridges with opening spans, meaning that vertical lift span bridges such as Ryde Bridge were no longer being designed and built. Ryde Bridge has local historical significance because it is located at an important crossing over the Parramatta River, between Ryde and Rhodes, which was one of the narrowest points on the river. Ryde Council initiated the construction of the bridge in order to open up the municipality for suburban development. Thereafter, Ryde Bridge has provided an important transportation route for outer suburbs in the municipalities of Ryde and Hornsby to access Sydney by car.

I was part of a mediator/facilitator team who assisted the panel in ten sessions in over 150 hours of conversation, debate and dealing that resulted in having a rescue tug placed at Neah Bay in the event of an oil spill.

I chose to explore through photography the idea of identity in portraiture, in a project titled the Disappearance. This was interesting to me, as I have worked as a fashion model and I find the act of being a key focal point in the creative process, yet being totally removed from that process very unusual and almost unsettling. This really affected how I worked on the project, using long shutter speeds to blur images to strip away identity, and physically altering photographs of myself to hide my own identity. On a different very open-ended project, titled Stopping Time, I used a combination of acrylic paint, oil paints, oil pastels and metallic foil to paint abstract samples inspired by my research into current theories of space time and human perception of time. These theories inspired me: for example when reading scientific articles about how large gravitational waves cause our time to warp and shift I became very interested in the fact that our perception of time is so concrete that we do not notice these shifts in our timeline.
I became more interested in the human experience of time as the project progressed. The fabric of our space time may be warped from a scientific viewpoint, however human experiences can, at least from our, perspective cause time to slow or to speed up. For example, I find that time can slow down upon hearing bad news, or time may slow and almost seem to stop during an accident. This concept caused me to revisit some Polaroid photographs I took of a valley where I have experienced some instances where time has subjectively slowed down dramatically and completely changed my perception of my surroundings.
I have been working on using photographs and paint to build up a visual language in an attempt to describe these moments. I am continuing to develop these ideas and am currently working on paintings that show landscapes which evoke very emotional responses as human perceptions and experience continue to fascinate me.
