  Hornibrook Highway Bridge - EPA/QPWS
The Hornibrook Highway Bridge, constructed 1932-35, was one of the first road toll facilities in Queensland to be authorised by special act of parliament.
Hornibrook believed a major project was needed to keep together the construction force built up by his company during twenty-five years of work.
The bridge is now experiencing problems of decay including the cracking of the decking surface caused by rotting planks, the corrosion of steel in the concrete piers, and white ants in the girders.

The Hornibrook Bridge opened on 14 October 1935, connecting the cities of Redcliffe City at Clontarf and Brisbane City at Brighton.
Construction of the bridge was important for the growth of the Redcliffe City peninsula and made the commute to Brisbane shorter and quicker, increasing population growth and the number of visitors to the seaside location.
The bridge was operated and maintained by a private company and a toll applied for much of its life as a traffic bridge, with toll booths set up on the Clontarf side.

 ANZAC Bridge Sydney
The ANZAC Bridge spanning Johnstons Bay is one of Sydney's outstanding landmarks.
It is the longest cable-stayed span bridge in Australia and amongst the longest concrete cable-stayed span bridges in the world.
The closing of the two halves of the bridge took place on 24th July 1995 in the early evening to give the bridge time to cool and time for the final concrete poor to gain strength before morning to avoid movements due to temperature changes.

However, this definition admits events such as the decimation of the South American marsupial fauna following the establishment of a land bridge with North America in the late Pliocene (Piacenzian), which is almost certainly not his intention.

For example, the decimation of the endemic South American marsupial and primitive placental faunas is confidently attributed to the establishment of a land bridge with North America in the late Pliocene (Piacenzian) and the consequent invasion of more advanced placentals from the north.

 Extinction
However, this definition admits events such as the decimation of the South American marsupial fauna following the establishment of a land bridge with North America in the late Pliocene, which is almost certainly not his intention.
But in fact it is rather common, particularly among microfossils, of which huge numbers can be recovered from continuous rock sequences, allowing statistical study of morphological trends.
For example, the decimation of the endemic South American marsupial and primitive placental faunas is confidently attributed to the establishment of a land bridge with North America in the late Pliocene and the consequent invasion of more advanced placentals from the north.
