Your comment David has actually suggested the true symbolism of the bridge
and its name. At the centre of the bridge are two tall decorative towers
that are are otherwise useless. After your comment, they now suggest to me
Sir Henry giving Melbourne a two finger salute saying "Up you" or similar.
What a memorial!
