Walter Taylor Bridge

Updated: Jan 13, 2026
The gothic white towers of Indooroopilly’s Walter Taylor Bridge have long been a source of public fascination.
Designed by Walter Taylor and built in 1936, the bridge was originally home to the tollgate keeper and his family. Then, once the river crossing became free the towers continued to be occupied, with the last resident and descendent of the tollkeeper’s family moving out in 2010.
Today you can walk across it on a dedicated pedestrian path, and there are also tours of the inside of the tollkeepers residence that are guided by the Brisbane Greeters. Tours must be pre-booked and also include the Witton Barracks.
