The Walter Taylor Bridge opened in 1936 as the only habitable bridge in the southern hemisphere. The sight of washing hanging on the line outside the art deco towers at either of the bridge had long fascinated motorists. It was home to the tollkeeper’s family and a tenant, with the Indooroopilly end tower occupied until 2009.
