The Sydney Harbour Bridge was finished on 19th March 1932 and cost $20 million. The bridge is the largest steel arch bridge in the world being 134 metres high, 49 metres wide. The bridge has six million rivets in total, and weighs 52,800 tonnes. It stretches from Dawes Point on one side of the Sydney Harbour to Milsons Point on the other. It is worth climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge,(if you are good with heights!!) which starts from within a stone pylon at one end, then travels along the top of the structure, where there are spectacular views. ( I was not brave enough, and it is a little pricey - in SA rands anyway!) Due to the height that you will be walking cameras cannot be taken, and all loose articles must be removed. You will also be tested for alcohol, by a breathalyser. You can purchase souvenir photographs at the end of your tour. As well as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Harbour Tunnel also links the North to the South, joining the Highway to the North, and leaving about 1km South of the Sydney Opera House in the South. Leave a Comment Directions: In the central harbour, near Circular Quay.

One of the 3 landmarks of Sydney - the omnipotent presence of the bridge dominates the harbour skyline. You can choose to admire from afar, or do one step better and climb up to the bridge level to experience the strong winds and enjoy the magnificent views of the Sydney Opera House and the city. If you think this is still too sedate for your satisfaction - conquer the Bridge Climb and climb to the apex of the bridge!

| | | | Harbour Bridge / Anzac Bridge: The Poor Person's Bridge Climb | Tip Rating: | | | | |
Yes, everyone has heard of the Sydney Harbour Bridgeclimb, yes it must be absolutely fantastic to do - but at AUD$165 + more for pictures, I just cannot bring myself around to spend THAT MUCH MONEY on it!!! Nope, until I win the lottery I will content myself on climbing the South Pylon of the bridge for a far more reasonable AUD$5... It affords fantastic views of the city, the harbour and the world famous icon - the Sydney Harbour Bridge, but from a static point of view instead of being able to walk over the structure. There are 200 stairs to the Pylon Lookout, and it is 87 metres above mean sea level. On the way up there are 3 levels of the Landmark Exhibition, where you will discover about the history and construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the men who built it, including the vision of JJC Bradfield, the chief engineer. Why not walk across the bridge as well, and you will have accomplished most of what you would if you’d taken the bridge climb – then figure out what you’ll do with that $160 you’ve still got left in your pocket… ;-) Leave a Comment Address: South Pylon - Sydney Harbour BridgeDirections: Take the pedestrian pathway on the E side of the Bridge from the city side (use 'Bridge Stairs' in Cumberland Street). If you are coming from the N side use the steps by Milsons Point train station.
