The article (and, at the moment, the main page of en.wikipedia.org) says that the Dinkey Creek Bridge, as well as Dinkey Creek and several other geographical features, are named after a dog named Dinkey. Isn't it actually the case that Dinkey Creek is named after Dinkey the dog, and Dinkey Creek Bridge, in turn, is named after Dinkey Creek? Otherwise, it would be named "Dinkey Bridge", wouldn't it?
