This bridge over the Port River is named The Tom "Diver" Derrick Bridge.  It is an opening bridge to allow river traffic into the port area.  Tom Derrick was an Australian soldier and a recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest decoration for gallantry in the face of thenemy, awarded to members of the British and Commonwealth armed forces.
