A bridge too (bloody) far?

Joshua Nash

Research output: Contribution to specialist publicationArticle

Abstract

If you want to research the names of bridges, it's difficult to know where to start. You'll find, for instance, that a Web search brings little reward. Although bridge names are quite important in the name inventory of any place-Sydney Harbour Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge-we toponymists have largely neglected to bring them into our line of vision. So perhaps presenting and analysing a list of names of bridges on Norfolk Island might be a good start. After all, the island is reputed to be home to the second oldest bridge in Australia and its territories-Pier Street Bridge.
