Victoria Bridge Abutment, Heritage bridge remnant in South Brisbane, Australia

The stone abutment features a large masonry podium supporting a section of roadway with a rusticated arch decorated with neoclassical ornamentation.

The structure represents the remains of the fourth Victoria Bridge from 1896, which replaced earlier versions destroyed by floods and structural issues.

A marble memorial tablet commemorates Hector Vasyli, an eleven-year-old Greek Australian who died at this location while greeting returning soldiers in 1918.

The South Bank site includes a viewing platform connected to the current Victoria Bridge, offering visitors access to historical displays about Brisbane's development.

The abutment retains visible tram tracks from 1897 to 1969, marking the transformation of Brisbane from a small settlement into an urban center.
