  • So many people had told me - you must go on the bridge climb - but , you can't take your own photos and it costs about $150! So when I heard about the 200 steps to the top of the pylon on the city side, for only $8.50 AND i can take my own photos! I had to say YES!! Look at my travelouge for heaps of photos

    Apart from the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge is one of the most popular attractions in Sydney. You can go right up the top of it. This is a view from our ferry coming in from Parramatta. It's a lovely peaceful trip along the Parramatta river.

    Now, it just wouldn't be right to have a Sydney page without a tip for the Harbour Bridge. So here's my contribution to the dozens that already exist. Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of the more recognizable bridges in the world and it's rare that you will see a sweeping photo of Sydney anywhere without the bridge tucked in somewhere in there. And it is truly a magnificent bridge. It is very photogenic, and its giant sweeping arch earned it the affectionate nickname of the 'Coathanger.' Completed in 1932, it was built during the height of Great Depression and took 6 years to complete. It also provided much needed employment to many thousands of people from all over the country, as well as displace hundreds if not thousands of others whose homes had to be demolished to make room for the bridge. Amazingly, only 16 lives were lost during the construction. While in the city, you owe it to yourself to familiarize yourself with the bridge a little better. You can walk across it, climb the South-Eastern pylon, and if you got money to burn, even do the Bridge Climb to the very top of the arch (see my tips on both of the latter options)

    The Sydney Harbour Bridge is (with the Sydney opera House) one of Sydney's and Australia's most famous landmark. Completed in 1932, the construction of the bridge was and econimic feat as well as an engeneering triumph. The total lengt of the bridge is 1149 meters including the approach spans. It was not a cheap bridge to built. The total costs were 13.5 million Australian dollars and besides that the annual maintenance costs are 5 million Australian dollars. When we arrived in Sydney we were picked up at the airport by relatives. They lived on the other side of the harbour. They decided to drive over the Sydney Harbour Bridge instead by driving through the Sydney Harbour Tunnel which was build in the early nineties to relieve the traffic at the Bridge. From the Harbour Bridge we had a beautiful view at the Sydney skyline by night. Therefore our first impression of Sydney was :"Wow, this is a great city!"

    There have been bridge climbing trips for a few years now. They take a couple hours and provide all the equipment that you need and a guide. They are expensive. If you don't want to do this or can't afford it, you can climb a piling (I think the northwest one, but it's been awhile, so I can't swear to it) for a couple dollars. You get a beautiful view of the the bridge and the harbour area. You can walk across the bridge on a pedestrian walkway as well. There's plenty to do in that area if you're making a day of it - obviously there's the Quay and Darling Harbour, but on the northshore, there's also a small amusement park (how often can you ride a ferris wheel while overlooking such beautiful water -- see my tip on Luna Park), and even better, there's a big pool just next to the bridge. For a couple dollars, you can spend as much time as you want - and it's a nice alternative to the beaches on a hot day if you don't have the time to get out to one of them.

    If you're here over New Years, be sure to go to the harbour for the fireworks - it is a truly amazing experience! We were lucky to have met a fellow VTer a few months previously who got us into the private party of the Opera Bar with a grandstand view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge across Circular Quay for free. We were able to celebrate in style with almost a dozen friends and even the non firing of the 9 o'clock fireworks due to high winds didn't put a dampener on festivities as when midnight came the whole of Sydney Harbour Bridge erupted in a cacophany of sound and light! The show was truly amazing, perhaps only rivalled by Kuala Lumpur this year and the final message of the Dove of Peace was a very poignant thing in this time of uncertainty - let us hope the leaders of this world share its sentiment... For more pics, check out my New Year's Eve 2002 travelogue...

    Climb the Sydney Harbour bridge I know a few people who did not climb the bridge when they werte in Sydney. They thought it was a 'tacky tourist thing'. If this was true then why do so many locals do it? Although the ticket is around $100 it is definatley worth it. THe view is breath-taking and you will never forget it.

    With the Opera house this is the symbol of sydney. It is the main bridge that links the heart of the city with the northern neibourhoods. It is possible to reach its top but i didn't do it so it's better to catch info from someone else.

    The best way to view the Circular Quay and the CBD (Central Business District) from the top and you don’t need to pay so much money for the ‘bridge climbing’ thing (unless you’re seeking for some blood-pumping activities.) Morning will be the best time doing this; Catch a North Shore Lines train to Milsons Point, the first stop on North Sydney’s side then walk back across the Harbor Bridge to Sydney 2000 and finish at the Rocks. The walk itself takes around 15-20, but I saw some people spend over 2 hours taking photos!!!

  • Sydney Harbour Bridge The best way to see it is from The Rocks, or the Opera House - somewhere around the Harbour... When I first went to Sydney, we thought 'wow lets go over the bridge'... but it's pretty damn unexciting... you don't see any water or view at all, which you do on Melbourne's West Gate Bridge, because there are great big metal bars on either side of the bridge. I have heard that it is wonderful to take a guided walk up to the top of the bridge, but just make sure you don't do it on a windy day!
