SYDNEY BRIDGE. Sydney Bridge Climb v Pylon Tower climb at the bridge
Sydney Bridge is iconic. You can climb Sydney Bridge, or You can climb the Pylon towers. It stands as a monument, lit up by fireworks on New Year's Eve, and as an attraction the rest of the year. We film the bridge, climb the tower and show you the bridge climb, and pitch one against the other. Also, we show you the two routes to get to it. #sydneybridge #cruise #cruisetip #cruiseport #portguide #porttalk There is a newer version of this video with better colour grading.

there were approximately six million
rivets used in making the bridge in the
1920s welding was too unreliable and
nuts and bolts are quite expensive so
rivets were used if you're wondering why
people walk all the way around - mrs
macquarie's point this is why the
Botanic Gardens is 84 square acres and
access is free and we hope you can get
on to the Harbour Bridge problem
it certainly got us up about circular
key we've got a great view of that but
there's an elevator which we men

if you pay lots of money you can walk up
there like they're doing if you decide
to take this bridge walk there's a very
strict alcohol test before you do it the
bridge is 1149 meters including approach
span we're at the pylon entrance of a
climbing up for some spectacular views
it cost ten million fifty seven thousand
one hundred and fifty pounds seven
shillings and nine pence to build
halfway up the pylon there's an
exhibition about the construction of the
bridge the arches 134 metres above sea
level and the pylon is 89 meters above
sea level so we've just climbed 89
meters

we're at the top of the pylon on Sydney
Harbour Bridge and it was worth the
climb a few spectacular the bridge was
completed in 1932 and it was all done
without the aid of safety harnesses when
the bridge was being built 128 tie-back
cables restrained the part finished
arches these cables reached 365 meters
yon 70 millimeters in diameter 8.6 tons
in weight are made up of 217 individual
wires
[Music]
you can see the pedestrian walkway and
we're going to completes our journey in
a minute on the other side of the bridge
is a residential area and I've bet the
apartments cost a pretty penny so we
came up over there just by the Queen
Elizabeth notwithstanding they were
brilliant views all the way around we
could have just come up here
the lift you're looking for is at the
back of the Glenmore Hotel more
