Webb Bridge – Docklands, Melbourne

One of those locations that we chanced upon. While we were browsing for pictures of bridges in the Downtown Melbourne area for our previous post, we saw too many pictures of this bridge showing up in our search results. The pictures did ring a bell for us though we couldn’t immediately zero in on the song where the location has been used. Then, when we were digging for movies shot in Melbourne, we were reminded of Salaam Namaste and the hugely popular ‘My Dil Goes Mmmm’ song which was the one that was shot in this bridge.

About the location (from here):
Webb Bridge (or Web Bridge?) is the walkway/cycleway across the Yarra River from the southside housing developments to the northside entertainment, shopping and dining venues at the Melbourne Docklands. It’s an interesting, unique-looking bridge which is part of a Melbourne public art project. Webb Bridge (or Web Bridge) was actually designed to represent a Koori eel trap. The bridge reuses the remaining sections of the disused Webb Rail Bridge.

But because the framework of the bridge does look like a mesh or web, the name Web Bridge may become the more common appellation. Crossing Webb Bridge from the Yarra River southside area known as Yarra’s Edge brings you to Docklands Park on the north side and thence to Victoria Harbour Promenade, Harbour Esplanade with Etihad Stadium on the right, and on to NewQuay and Waterfront City on the north side of Victoria Harbour.

Movies shot at this location:
My dil goes mmmm from Salaam Namaste
Nee Mutham Ondru Koduthaal from Pokkiri
Poo Mudhal Penn Varai from Theeratha Vilaiyattu Pillai
