Now go back into your history book and see the design YOU were going to get. It was going to be the same as the Story Bridge.
But your bridge has the built in flag holder, which us Queenslanders think is a good idea. Gives us a place to put our flag when we beat you.

We got the better lookin' bridge because WE are better lookin' and we are more popular.

So roll on winter and let the game begin.

Apparently the cables that were used to support the SHB during construction were then sent up to you lot and were incorporated into the Storey.

Well, we shall what we shall see.

Of course I'd have to point out that all Bradfield had to do up there was cross a little creek. Here he had a decent body of water to worry about .
