Found these when looking for Gold Coast bridges. If anyone has anymore please add. Wish I could find some pictures of the bridges on the Pacific Highway between Brisbane and the Coast.

Great pics Aussie Bhoy. There's an amazing picture of the Southport Bridge under construction in the Queensland Master Builders Association HQ at Ashmore.

What a difference 40 years makes.

Are they ever going to get rid of that caravan park at Main Beach. It would be a great site for 5 or 6 towers.

Great pics. How did you access them? There are many more skyscrapers in the last photo of southport. Any photos from 2000 onwards?

I don't have any modern comparison pictures, but there are probably some amongst the threads in this section.

What happened to the pedestrian bridge going from the end of southport to the begining of the spit?

^WTF? What pedestrian Bridge. I think you're thinking of the old Jubilee Bridge which was built in the 40's or 50's I think. 2 lane bridge. Replaced by current bridge.
