The University of Adelaide Footbridge was built in 1937, part of the Adelaide City Council's contribution to South Australia's Centenary in 1936. In 1971, there was a prank on Prosh Day in which engineering students suspended a car hanging from the bridge under the cover of night. This prank is still talked about as part of Adelaide University folklore.
