    climbing the bridge

    The only reason I would even fathom the idea of climbing a bridge was because I saw people doing it on the Travel Channel. I told myself, if I ever go to Sydney, I am going to do that. Apparently, thousands of other people must have seen the same tv special, because thousands of people do this every year. Several celebrities have done it also, so that makes me feel kinda special. It is a unforgettable experience, and I advise you to book online well in advance. IT is a popular attraction. The whole process takes about 3.5 hours. You check in, get dressed in these windbreaker body suits( I went during their winter season, so it might be a different getup if you go during the summertime.), gather your equipment and go through a quick training class (so you know how to work you equipment), then you head out towards the bridge with your personal guide. There are usually 10 people to a group and it is best if you are up front near the guide, versus all the way in the back of the pack where you feel somewhat forgotten. Be prepared to climb up steep ladders and cross catwalks...then prepare for the amazing view!

    Come on, I am sure that you can guess. I took this photo through the front window of my brother's car on Tuesday as he was reminding me of the sights of Sydney. You guessed it. We are driving on the Harbour Bridge.

    The Sydney Harbour Bridge, also known as the 'Coathanger', was opened on March 19, 1932 by Premier Jack Lang, after six years of construction. It is the world's largest (but not longest as thats the New River Gorge in the USA) steel arch bridge, and also with its beautiful harbour location, has become a renowned international symbol of Australia. The bridge was made of steel and contains 6 million hand driven rivets. The surface area that requires painting is equal to about the surface area of 60 sports fields. Its total length including approach spans is 1149 metres and its arch span is 503 metres. The top of the arch is 134 metres above sea level and the clearance for shipping under the deck is a spacious 49 metres. The total steelwork weighs 52,800 tonnes, including 39,000 tonnes in the arch. The 49 metre wide deck makes Sydney Harbour Bridge the widest Longspan Bridge in the world.

    Throughout the landscape of Sydney, one of the most dominant views is that of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Originally designed in the early 1900's to span the harbour from North to South, the Harbour Bridge is a wonderful feat of architecture, as well as a mainstay in the Sydney skyline. Still operational today, the span is 1650 feet, and it is tall enough to allow ships to pass under it without obstruction. It is very popular for people to climb, although the price tag of such a climb seemed a little unrealistic for my pocketbook and time! I enjoyed viewing it up close from the Rocks, and also from afar such as this picture from the Opera House area!

    One of the main sights is the Harbour Bridge. There are many cool spots to get a good view of it. You can take the Manly ferry and you'll have a cool view from the water. From Circular Quay you can have a cool view aswell. If you walk through the Rocks area and walk under the bridge to the other side there is a sort of platform and you can view the bridge from the other side. The best place to make a picture is probably from Mrs. Maquarie Point in the Royal Botanic Gardens. You can frame both the Opera House and the Bridge into one picture.

    The bridge is the main crossing of Sydney HArbour. You can drive, Ride a train or walk across it. We were driven across it by Aussiedoug. It is a magnificent looking bridge both from above and below. All four pylons of the bridge are used as a museum and tourist center with great lookout points. You can also go on a bridge climb. I would never do this because I am afraid of heights and the price is just as steep about $200 (American dollars) a person.

    Just do it. So long as you're not deathly afraid of heights or afraid of moderately strenuous activity. I did it. I'm no where near 'moderately fit,' as the requirements say. They also take a breathalyzer test to see if you've been drinking, so don't drink a thing because once you've bought your ticket, it's non-refundable. Trust me. Adventure is not my middle name, but I did it. I complained a lot beforehand, but I was glad afterwards. They do not allow cameras, but the do take pictures for you and of course you buy those at the all important gift shop. It's cool. One shot has the Sydney Opera House in the background, another shot is of Sydney's skyline. Nighttime pictures look better. My opinion only. They climb day and at night, but I think they cap it at 7pm.

    Once known as the Glebe Island Bridge. It crosses Johnston’s Bay connecting Pyrmont, Rozelle and Sydney’ business district. It is the longest cable bridge in Australia. You can take a stroll on the bridge, there is a pedestrian path. It was renamed the Anzac bridge in 1998 in remembrance of World War I Australian and New Zealand soldiers. On the east end of the bridge is the Australian flag and on the west is the flag of New Zealand. I think is one of the more eye catching and interesting bridges that I’ve come across.

    built between 1923-32 and affectionately known as The Coathanger the bridge is a wonderful sight while it was being built it created so many jobs that it was called the Iron Lung, even now maintenance must be never ending, while it was being built 16 people were accidentally killed, amazingly 9 of these were people on the ground not part of the construction teams ! During the opening ceremony in 1932 a man galloped up on horseback and cut the ribbon with his sword, beating the NSW Premier to the job, as a protest because a member of the British Royal Family hadnt been invited to open it Its a great bridge to drive over, providing you have had clear instructions which lane to drive in [ thanks Aussiedoug ] it also has cycle and pedestrian paths and railway lines there is a museum in the southeast pylon, telephone 02 9247 3408 for opening times and directions
