The Residents

Goodwill Bridge
Goodwill Bridge
Working alongside Queensland Museum’s award-winning palaeontology staff, celebrated visual artist Craig Walsh has created stylised, high-definition projections of prehistoric creatures known to have inhabited the Brisbane River (Maiwar) millions of years ago!
Queensland Museum palaeontologists likened the descriptions to Pliosaurs, which lived in Australian waters more than 100 million years ago.
By day, the strange river residents can be seen through the underwater surveillance cameras on the Goodwill Bridge, or lucky viewers can catch them playing in the water as they come closer to the surface at night.
