I smiled when I saw these photos. A couple of years ago, I saw the old Valdora lift bridge on Google Maps and stupidly thought I could ride my bike across it. I left from CoolumI but it wasn't till half an hour later when I was half way across the bridge (dragging my bike with me) that I realized (d'oh) it was a LIFT bridge with the middle of it missing. After slapping myself in the head a few times I turned around gingerly and went back home :)
Thanks for clarifying the name Neil, I wasn't sure whether it was known as the Dunethin lift bridge. As it is now, you could 'almost' wheel a bike acros the flood debris to the other side.
