Tidal features represent an important process for the recycling of matter across extremely large spatial scales. The Magellanic Bridge is the closest gaseous tidal feature to our own Galaxy, and offers an ideal opportunity to study the active processes in such phenomena at high spatial resolutions otherwise unavailable. The neutral hydrogen of the western Magellanic Bridge, has been observed with both the Parkes 64m telescope and ATCA interferometer and the resulting dataset has revealed an extremely complex and chaotic morphology. We discuss these observations here with reference to a variety of analyses: the spatial correlation of apparently expanding HI shells with OB associations and the outcome of sensitive Hα and CO surveys.
