    Sydney Harbour Bridge is the world's largest (not the longest!) steel arch bridge with the top of the bridge standing 134 metres above the harbour. The construction of the bridge started in 1924 and took 1400 men 8 years to build. 6 million hand driven rivets and 53,000 tonnes of steel were used in its construction. Today it carries 8 traffic lanes and 2 rail lines. It is possible to climb the bridge. I am sure it must be impressing, but it is rather expensive...

    The Sydney Harbour Bridge was completed in 1932. Before this bridge was built, one had to go by ferry or a 20-km road route that had 5 smaller bridge crossings to go across the city to the north shore. The bridge, also colloquially known as the “coathanger” took 8 years to build, which involved 1400 workers; 16 of whom were killed during the construction. It is a masterpiece and an icon to be proud of; becuz it unites the city (pedestrians, cars, trains, cyclists all use this bridge).

    WHEN WE BOOKED TO GO TO SYDNEY THERE WAS ONE THING I REALLY WANTED TO DO MORE THAN ANY OTHER THING AND THAT WAS TO DO THE BRIDGE CLIMB. THEN IT WAS TRYING TO CHOOSE AT WHICH TIME OF THE DAY TO DO IT...WE WENT FOR THE LATE TWILIGHT CLIMB. THIS MEANT WE STARTED IN DAY LIGHT AND FINISHED IN DARKNESS. AS WE STARTED TO CLIMB IT WAS DUSK AND STARTED TO GET DARKER AND DARKER WITH ALL THE LIGHTS STARTING TO COME ON ALL OVER SYDNEY AND ALSO GOT TO SEE THE SUN SETTING..SOUNDS PERFECT AND IT WAS. AND SO IT WAS WE TURNED UP FOR OUR 6PM CLIMB JOINED THE REST OF THE PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE IN OUR GROUP AND GOT KITTED OUT FOR THE CLIMB. SAFETY IS A BIG THING HERE AND YOU ARE PUT THROUGH A MOCK CLIMB BEFORE YOU ARE ALLOWED NEAR THE REAL THING. APART FROM YOUR CLIMB SUIT YOU ARE GIVEN A TORCH WOOLY HAT AND FLEECE TO KEEP YOU WARM, ALSO YOU HAVE A TWO WAY RADIO SO YOU CAN TALK TO THE CLIMB LEADER AT ALL TIMES, YOU REALLY ARE WELL LOOKED AFTER. THEN WHEN WE WHERE ALL READY OUR CLIMB LEADER TOOK US OUT ONTO THE BRIDGE..I HAVE TO SAY HERE AND NOW THAT FOR ME THIS WAS THE WORST BIT, THAT NARROW WALKWAY UNDER THE ROADWAY, I REALLY THOUGHT ID NEVER MAKE IT AND TO MAKE THINGS WORSE MY WIFE WAS FLYING ALONG LOVING IT. BUT ONCE I GOT UP ONTO THE MAIN PART OF THE BRIDGE I WAS FINE AND STARTED TO REALLY ENJOY IT FOR WHAT IT IS A TRULY GREAT EXPERIENCE, THE CHANGING LIGHT WAS JUST OUT OF THIS WORLD AND WHAT ALSO ADD'S TO THE CLIMB IS THAT THE CLIMB LEADER TELLS YOU FACTS ABOUT THE BRIDGE I NEVER KNEW, ALSO AT DIFFERENT POINTS ON THE BRIDGE YOU STOP TO GET YOUR PICTURE TAKEN EITHER WITH YOUR PARTNER, ON YOUR OWN, AND ALSO WITH YOUR GROUP WHO WILL BE YOUR BEST FRIENDS BY THIS STAGE OF THE CLIMB. OUR CLIMB LASTED 3 HOURS FROM BRIEFING TO CLIMB END..SO IF YOU ARE GOING TO SYDNEY AND ARE THINKING ABOUT DOING THIS I HAVE ONLY ONE THING TO TELL YOU...DO IT !!! I PROMISE YOU'LL LOVE IT THE FEELING IS OUT OF THIS WORLD AND THE VIEWS ARE TO DIE FOR...YOU WILL REMEMBER THIS DAY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

    Anzac bridge is a relatively new bridge (it was constructed in 1995) and and is now among the best and outstanding landmark in Sydney. Its architecture and design is unique. The bridge stands out from rest of the bridges and has become an important stop in any tourists itinerary. Anzac bridge links Sydney to the western suburbs via the City west Link and the Victoria road. Earlier, the bridge was called The Old Glebe Island bridge, but the name was changed to Anzac bridge in 1998 to honour the ANZAC -Australia and the New Zealand Army Corps.

    Doing the bridge climb is a great experience and well run, but not all of us have $180 to blow. So just remember you can walk across the footpath for FREE. The views are just as fantastic! Catch a train to Milsons Point Station and walk back over the bridge. You finish at the Australian Hotel (cnr Cumberland & Gloucester Sts) and then walk down the laneways to the Rocks, otherwise continue along the Cahill Expressway for some great views of circular quay. That side leads you round to the Botannical Gardens

    The Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of Australia's most well known and photographed landmarks. It is the world's largest (but not the longest) steel arch bridge with the top of the bridge standing 134 metres above the harbour. Fondly known by the locals as the 'Coathanger', the Sydney Harbour Bridge celebrated its 70th birthday in 2002, with its official opening in March 1932. Climbing the Bridge BridgeClimb started in 1998 and attracts tourists and locals alike to climb the monument. After climbing through catwalks and up ladders and stairs, the view is absolutely breathtaking. There are day, twilight and night climbs and a group of twelve will leave for a climb every ten minutes. The safety precautions taken include a blood alcohol reading and a Climb Simulator, which shows Climbers the climbing conditions that might be experienced on the Bridge.

    WOW ! That is how I would describe my experience even though I was afraid of heights. Worry not because given the brief training on solid ground and the secure harness which you will be attached to the bridge, hopefully nothing will go wrong. The guide are friendly and are all there with you guiding you with stories as you hike and walk your way round the bridge, through unique headphones. The climb is slight tiring because of the constant walking and climbing of narrow stairways but the scenery of the Sydney Skyline is definitely worthwhile. Do pose well when having your picture taken so that you can boast to others of the great experience that you had.
