ANZAC Bridge, Sydney NSW Australia

The bridge was given its current name on Remembrance Day in 1998 to honour the memory of the soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (known as Anzacs) who served in World War I. An Australian Flag flies atop the eastern pylon and a New Zealand Flag flies atop the western pylon.

The bridge has been used in a number of artistic works including:

  • The bridge was used in the Looking for Alibrandi (1999) movie scene where the title character, Josephine Alibrandi, and her date Jacob Coote rode across the bridge on Jacob’s motorcycle.
  • Deni Hines’ song “It’s Alright” (1995) features the nearly completed bridge in the music video group dance sequences, the filming of which taking place a few months before the bridge’s December 1995 opening.
  • You Am I’s song “Purple Sneakers” from the band’s album Hi Fi Way (1995) opens with the lyric “Had a scratch only you could itch, underneath the Glebe Point bridge“. The Glebe Island Bridge was still under construction when Tim Rogers wrote and recorded the song in 1994, with the bridge’s name change to ‘Anzac Bridge’ not occurring until 1998.
