The Sydney Harbor Bridge Jun 07, 2008
The Sydney Harbor Bridge spans Sydney Harbor and was officially opened on March 19, 1932. It remains the fourth-longest spanning-arch bridge in the world. It carries rail, vehicular, and pedestrian traffic between Sydney's central business district and the North Shore. According to the Guiness Book of Records it is the widest bridge in the world.
The arch span is 503 meters and reaches a height of 134 meters (440 feet) above mean sea level. The Sydney Harbor Bridge, the harbor, and the nearby Sydney Opera House are a well known icon worldwide for both Sydney and Australia. At the time of my last visit, the Sydney Harbor Bridge Walk had not begun. Sunset is said to be the best time for that adventure and limited slots have to be reserved months in advance. Having a fear of heights, I cannot imagine standing on top of one of those arches.  Part of the list Bridges

On the first day of arrival I checked out the traditional sights like
the Opera House and the Harbor Bridge. Just awesome! I chilled out in
the 30 hectares big Royal Botanical Gardens watching huge bats dropping
their "waste" on to passing tourists. I walked to Mrs Macquaries Point
(best point to take scenic pictures).
Dinner was served at a traditional German Brauhaus… Sydney |

A week to soak in every view of the Harbor Bridge and Opera House and get some QT in with my favorite irish boys. It's all about reunions on this trip up the coast.… On to Sydney |

We walked over to The Rocks, an old tarted up neighborhood underneath the Harbor Bridge. Had a lovely lunch (though we did forego the desserts) and continued our stroll. The skies were steadily clearing.
Stopped to look at the ferries and the crazed (utterly crazed) seagulls. Enjoyed a gelato. Rested our aching bones. We're doing OK with… Australia, We Have Landed |

Zijn we min of meer per ongeluk via de harbor
bridge terug gereden. Dat valt nog vies tegen als je voor de eerste
keer links rijd, tijdens spits uur dwars door Sydney heen. Maar
zonder schade en veel getoeter zijn we er toch gekomen. Toen nog een
paar keer naar het strand geweest. Een avond… Sydney |
