Anybody who knows his way around Brisbane can have a go at naming all 15 roads/streets/bridges. Most are major arterials and should be obvious, but some are obscure. So have a look and start guessing :)

Nice tread. Although only images 1 and 15 are recognisable to me, its always fun looking at random street/road shots. Comparing BNE's general road system to that of Auckland, Brisbane comes out way on top.
Many of the pics have a southern California look to them. That is to say, the better side of Sthern Calif.

I'm not exactly sure, but are you guys sure that #14 is the Breakfast Creek Bridge? It looks different to me for some strange and unknown reason.

14 is definitly the Breakfast Creek bridge, I used to work in the pub there, and then at the airport and used to drive over it every day.
You can see the light towers at Albion Park Trots to the left, plus the Powerhouse Hotel on the right.

No its not - I drive up Gympie road all the time. It is somewhere with better soil!
#13. It looks like somewhere on the South Side. Could it be Creek Road somewhere near Mansfield or Carindale? Tell me if I am getting warmer. Could it be Birkdale or somewhere on the southern bayside - that shopping center sign looks so familier.

Your right JayT, it is definitely not Gympie Road, nowhere on Gympie Road has grass that well mown or a Hungry Jacks and Maccas next to eachother. I am going to take a stab in the dark and suggest that it might be Anzac Ave in Redcliffe.

i think your mistaken. i looked at resturant locators for 13.. hungry jacks and mcdonals.
HJ's:
1401 Gympie Road
Aspley, QLD 4034
McDonalds:
Store Name: Aspley
Suburb: ASPLEY
Postcode: 4034
Address: 1364 Gympie Rd
I think that looks very close together

11. Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Rd, Upper Mt Gravatt (westbound approaching Logan Rd)
12. Sandgate Rd, Nundah (at tunnel exit northbound)
13. Browns Plains Rd, Browns Plains
