I want to live in the Walter Taylor Bridge. This suspension bridge is unique in Brisbane because the two beautiful towers on each side of the bridge actually were residential. The bridge connects Indooroopilly and Chelmer and is often known as the Indooroopilly Bridge. There are a number of separate bridges right next to each other at this crossing including the Albert Bridge (railway) and Jack Pesch (pedestrian and cycling) but the Walter Taylor is by far the prettiest. It really has to do with the art deco towers and classy suspension. The bridge has had roadwork and repairs going on for along time now. The speed limit is a slow 40 and it is a simple two lane bridge (one for each direction). However, the Bridge is a short one so this does not disrupt too much. It will get fairly congested during peak hour though so try to avoid those times if you can.

When I first moved to Brisbane I had no idea that people lived on this bridge. I used to get spooked when I saw clothing hanging outside the windows of the towers. Sometimes I'd make that extra effort to try and work out whether they were 'modern' clothes or 'olden day' clothes. Yes, admittedly, I thought it was someone haunting the tower. Years later, after not telling anyone that I see clothes hanging by the windows, a friend commented on how bizarre it is that people still live there. Phew!!! Turns out I'm not crazy or have a sixth sense. Up until 2010, the original toll masters family have been occupying this living quarters. That's a long time! If you are serious about living here you may want to discuss this with Brisbane City Council, because I don't know if you will find it on realestate.com. The Walter Taylor Bridge is a handsome bridge. It looks strong, sturdy and has a design which would be in style forever. The only thing annoying about it's location, is the fact that it's next to a whole lot of other bridges, like the footbridge and the train line. It looks so messy and a bit of an eyesore. Despite this, the Walter Taylor Bridge does stand out amongst its fellow bridges. It the one people drive on and its the cream coloured one with a classic look.
