2014 Jim Stynes Bridge

Jim Stynes Bridge Opening

The Jim Stynes Bridge is a pedestrian bridge across the Yarra River. It was opened in June 2014 by the Minister for Planning, Matthew Guy. Also present was Melbourne’s Lord Mayor, Robert Doyle, the Stynes family, some Melbourne Football Club players, members from The Reach Foundation and members of The Demon Army. The Demon Army was on hand to raise a run through we’d made, which Tiernan Stynes broke through to open the bridge.

"It’s a grand old flag
It’s a high flying flag
It’s the emblem for me and for you
It’s the emblem of the team we love
The team of the Red and the Blue
Ev’ry heart beats true
For the Red and the Blue
And we sing this song to you (What do we sing!)
Should old acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eye on the Red and the Blue"
