Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image depicts Victoria Bridge over the Brisbane River in February 1896. The bank of the river is covered in strewn peices of wood. The Victoria Bridge suffered extensive damage during the February 1893 floods and a temporary wooden extension was built and opened in September of the same year. Another flood in 1896, however, threatened to destroy the wooden section of the bridge so workers were called to clear the debris. By 15 February 1896, the bridge was declared safe, however, piles had been broken causing the bridge to sag.
