Bridge of Remembrance
Description
The Bridge of Remembrance has been an important part of the central city since it was opened on Armistice Day, 11 November 1924. Although it was originally built to accommodate vehicular traffic, the use of the bridge was confined to pedestrians in 1977. The bridge remains a focal point for services commemorating Anzac Day.
