In late June of 2024, the Whittles family spent the night camping near the Burdekin River as part of their travels around Australia, and felt inspired to send up their drone to capture footage of the magnificent Burdekin Bridge.
“I’m not really one to find bridges all that fascinating, but there’s something about this bridge that intrigues me,” shared Mark Whittles.
“I’m not sure what it is that I find intriguing about it, it’s a big ugly metal structure, it is one of Australia’s biggest bridges, but it is absolutely PLAGUED with orb spiders!”
The Whittles have been travelling around the country for just over two years, capturing and sharing videos and photos of their adventures across various social media platforms. Along with these extraordinary photos, the Whittles shared a YouTube video of their adventures in both Bowen and the Burdekin region, which has attracted almost 4,000 views!
“I did learn it’s the only bridge in Australia to be built on sand, so that’s kind of interesting – either way, it made for something cool to take photos of!”
Hundreds of people have interacted with the post published on ‘Our Whittle Adventure’s’ social media pages, commenting their own experiences with the Burdekin Bridge, from both a local and travellers’ perspective.
The Whittles family’s drone photos are nothing short of impressive
