Thank you. Yes, I didn't pick it up in my pre flight scan and only saw it at the last moment. Pesky cross wires

The original 2740m long Hornibrook highway bridge was completed in 1935 and demolished in 2010 but left some at both ends for fishing. It had 2 humps in it to allow small boats to access either side.
The second bridge opened 1979 and the third bridge opened 2010. It is higher than the other two.
I can only assume it is higher due to waves in cyclonic conditions. I have seen wave spray onto the old bridge.

Lovely video! Loved the clouds and how they reflected on the water.
