What a pretty gal..."The Go-Betweens" sound like a great group. I know her parents are proud of her...<br /><br />When I first saw that bridge and its name, I just figured it was talking about a bridge being built between 'here and there'--to connect parts of the city...<br /><br />Glad Brisbane is growing so fast. It's a gorgeous city...<br /><br />Happy New Year.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-76672370857398924992009-12-28T22:15:44.116+10:002009-12-28T22:15:44.116+10:00Hi Diane - what an interesting post and nice that ...Hi Diane - what an interesting post and nice that you have the family link to this band. Confess Ididn't know of them but I liked the clip you added. Nice sound and sad the lead passed away. Nice they will be remembered in the bridge. I know nothing about Brisbane but it looks very modern so I can't imagine why it's perceived as being behind the rest of Australia! That's probably my Irish perception - we don't really do high-rise cities and Dublin and Cork look very low-rise.We have two Santiago Calatrava bridges in Dublin which are a source of national pride - particularly the new Samuel Beckett Bridge which is beautiful and harp-shaped. Happy New Year and one of my resolutions is to comment and read blogs more often!<br />CatherineCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-21392031697848215882009-12-28T21:57:53.461+10:002009-12-28T21:57:53.461+10:00They were a great band.

But their name will forever be remembered with the new bridge.wilbo43https://www.blogger.com/profile/00598066077101522060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-29535644758514085762009-12-28T21:47:30.966+10:002009-12-28T21:47:30.966+10:00Nice one Diane.

I don't think I have been there for over 25 years. Must rectify that in the next year or so. I knew from Cara's blog that there were bundles of new bridges all over the place so of which were not so popular.<br /><br />How good is it that the Civic Fathers would honour a pop band in this way. Quite unique I should think.<br /><br />Good one, Brissie.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.com
