As you stand beneath this striking overpass, think of Canon Garland. He dedicated his life to one day. This isn’t just a bridge, it’s a tribute to him. The Canon Garland Overpass, a gleaming beacon of steel and concrete, links Anzac Park to the Western Freeway Bikeway. It’s a safe haven for cyclists and pedestrians, a testament to the enduring legacy of Canon Garland. He is known as the “Architect of Anzac Day” for his remarkable work in creating the format for solemn remembrance of the fallen. In 2018, an e-petition was started to rename the Toowong Cycle and Pedestrian Overpass to honor the centenary of the Armistice that ended World War I. The campaign, driven by the Canon Garland Memorial Society, was successful. Today, the overpass stands as a symbol of remembrance and gratitude. It carries thousands of people safely across the freeway, their paths illuminated by the grandness of Garland’s spirit.
