Abstract

The banks of the flood-prone Burdekin River were connected by modern infrastructure in 1957. The opening of a massive steel bridge over the river was a major milestone in the development of northern Australia. Recognised as one of the nation's engineering marvels, the high-level steel bridge transformed the connection between northeast Queensland and the rest of the Australian nation south of the flood prone river. Yet what if the construction project had failed? The following counterfactual history explores one possible consequence, which has implications for the entire Australian nation.
