BUILT ON GOLD

Brisbane

Walter Tower Bridge, Indooroopilly Road, Brisbane, Queensland

A stroll across the Walter Taylor Bridge, which was inaugurated in 1936 to allow vehicles to cross Brisbane River, could really pay off. Why? Simply because the bridge’s foundations were built on an important gold reserve.This gold is more pure than the gold that is usually dug up from Queensland’s mines, apparently. So keep an eye out!
