ABOUT SYDNEY HARBOUR

The SYDNEY HARBOUR BRIDGE is nicknamed “the coat hanger” because of the shape of its design. It carries road, rail and pedestrian traffic from Sydney’s business district to the North Shore. Since 1998, tourists have been able to climb to the top of the bridge. It takes almost four hours to climb up and down. It is one of the tallest bridges in the world, with a height of 130 yards from water level to the top.

The SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE is a performing arts centre. The shape of the building is based on the sails of a boat. In addition to concerts and events, around 2000 opera performances take place there each year.
