Sydney Harbour Bridge

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of Australia’s most well known and photographed landmarks. By the locals it’s called the ‘Coathanger’ because of it’s design.

The construction started in 1924. It took 1400 men and eight years to build the bridge. The total cost of the bridge was 4,2 millions. More than 50.000 tons of steel were used in the construction.

If you are ever planning on going to Australia, here is something you have to try out: Bridge climbing. You may have heard of it already, but you can actually climb the monument and the bridge is standing 134 metres above the harbour! So it may not be for everyone.

Bridge climbing is said to be a fantastic experience and it’s in groups of 12, so you can go with your friends and get an awesome memory. I would definitely like to try it, if I’m ever going to Australia.
