Sydney Harbour Bridge

The Sydney Harbour bridge is an amazing cultural icon that clefts sydney in two (north and south). It is accesible by walking, taking a car or a train over, and clearly visible from most places in within 2km of the CBD or more. It was opened in 1932 and has since gained notoriety as a "must see" tourist attraction of sydney.

The southern pylon is a great tourist attraction since the early to late 1940s, with a Cafe, Camera Obsucra, aboriginal art museum etc.The other major tourist attraction is the Sydney Harbor Bridge climb, in which you can climb over the bridge with a group of other tourists  This is a great tourist attraction and I completed the bridge climb in 2010, which is why I highly recommend it to anybody visiting Sydney  The view of the water, harbor and the CBD is magical.

Many other events are held with the harbour bridge, the biggest one being the yearly New Years Eve fireworks. While you are unable to bridge climb or use the walkways during the event, you are able to drive a car over or watch it from a distance. The NYE fireworks on the bridge are famous for being one of the first major cities to have the NYE fireworks (due to the relevance to GMT timing) and hence we through one of the larger parties!
