The year is 2010. Excitement crackles in the air. Right before us, the brand-new Go Between Bridge stretches across the Brisbane River. This isn’t just any bridge. The Go Between Bridge marks a significant moment in Brisbane’s history. It’s the first inner-city traffic bridge built in 40 years. The bridge gracefully links West End to Milton, carrying around 12,000 vehicles daily. But its story runs deeper than just concrete and steel. The Go Between Bridge isn’t named after a historical figure or a geographical landmark. It’s an ode to music, a tribute to the iconic Australian indie rock band, The Go-Betweens. This band, with roots firmly planted in Brisbane, found their name echoing off the very structure that now graces their city. Imagine the band members, Robert Forster and Grant McLennan, sitting back in 1978, dreaming of the impact their music would have. Little did they know a bridge would one day bear their band’s name. This bridge is a testament to the power of music and its ability to connect us, much like the bridge itself connects two parts of the city. And as we stand here, looking at The Go Between Bridge, we’re reminded that sometimes, the most beautiful tributes are the unexpected ones.
