Sydney Opera House, Australia

Sydney Opera House

An international competition for the design of the Opera House, won by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, was held in 1955 and work started in 1959. After many disagreements with the Department of Public Works of New South Wales, Utzon resigned from the project in 1966 at the mid-point of construction. The architectural duties passed to Peter Hall, E. H. Farmer, Lionel Todd and David Littlemore. Very sever cost overruns were apparent from th earliest stages of construction and the additional expenditure was alleviated by a series of public lotteries.

Sydney Harbour Bridge, Australia

Sydney Harbour Bridge

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a steel through arch bridge across Sydney Harbour that carries rail, vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic between the Sydney central business district (CBD) and the North Shore. The iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge spans the harbour at its narrowest point between Dawes and Milsons Points. Proposals to join the north and south sides of the harbour with a bridge were first put forward in 1815 by convict architect Francis Greenway. Vehicular and passenger ferries continued to be an important form of public transport on Sydney Harbour for the remainder of the nineteenth century.

One of the on going tourist attractions of the bridge has been the south-east pylon, which is accessed via the pedestrian walkway across the bridge, and then a climb to the top of the pylon of about 200 steps. After the war, in 1948 Yvonne Rentoul opened the ‘All Australian Exhibition’ in the pylon. The pylon was reopened in 1982, with a new exhibition celebrating the bridge’s 50th anniversary. In 1987 a ‘Bicentennial Exhibition’ was opened to mark the 200th anniversary of European settlement in Australia in 1988. The pylon was closed from April to November 2000 for the Roads & Traffic Authority and BridgeClimb to create a new exhibition called ‘Proud Arch’.
Night climbs are also available. Groups of climbers are provided with protective clothing appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions and are given an orientation briefing before climbing. During the climb, attendees are secured to the bridge by a wire lifeline. Each climb begins on the eastern side of the bridge and ascends to the top. In December 2006, BridgeClimblaunched an alternative to climbing the upper arches of the bridge. The Discovery Climb allows climbers to ascend the lower chord of the bridge and view its internal structure.

Clifton Beach is made up of 4 coves and the beaches are called 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. When the summer south-easter blows, the Clifton beaches are usually well sheltered from the wind. All of the beaches are accessible via stairs leading down from the road above. In summer, plan to get to the beach early as parking is very limited. Generally 4th is the busiest in summer with good changing room and bathroom facilities. Kiosks on the beach sell snacks, colddrinks and ice-creams as do the many vendors that wander the beach. Deck chairs and umbrellas are also available for daily rental.
