Anzac Bridge, sunset

These sunset colours over the inner west suburbs of Annandale and Leichhardt are viewed between the cables of the Anzac Bridge. The bridge was known as the Glebe Island Bridge when it opened in 1995. It was renamed the Anzac Bridge on Remembrance Day, 11th November 1998, to honour the servicemen and women who served in two world wars. The name is derived from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC).

Drummoyne, Parramatta River, Old Gladesville Bridge

This sunset on the Parramatta River is viewed from what remains of the abutment of the first Gladesville Bridge at Howley Park in Drummoyne. The bridge replaced a ferry service that ran across the river from Abbotsford Point to Bedlam Point. It opened in 1881 and was a two lane swing span iron bridge, with a swing at this southern end that opened to allow through ferries, sailing boats and steamers with high funnels. By 1910, the electric tramway travelled across this bridge from the city to Ryde. The second Gladesville Bridge with a clearance of 30 metres was built nearby and opened in 1964.
