Day 39: 🇦🇺Sydney Harbor Bridge, Australia 🇦🇺
We did it! We climbed to the top of Sydney Harbor Bridge at night!
Total time of Bridge Climb: 4 hours
At 440 feet at the summit, about 40 stories tall, Sydney Harbor Bridge is the world’s largest steel arch bridge. At the summit, there are two flags, the Australian and the Aboriginal flags. We learned that this bridge is a significant part of Sydney’s history since it was made during its difficult times. It’s a symbol of success. 6 million hand driven rivets, 1,400 workers in 8 years. It is twice as tall as the Sydney Opera House because the rule was the buildings could onl be built half as tall as the Sydney Harbor Bridge.
What a thrill to be at the summit looking over the Sydney Harbor and the lights of its gorgeous skyline!
