Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb

One of the many favorite things we have done since arriving in Australia was the Harbour Bridge Climb in Sydney. We waited until Candice came for her first of three visits so we could all do it together. The twilight climb was perfect because we were able to see the view at daylight during the first part of the climb, it was sunset by the time we arrived at the top of the bridge and the city's lights shone brightly at night by the time we finished our climb.

What a view! There were 1,457 steps to the largest single-span arch bridge in the world. The weight of the steelwork alone totals 52,800 tons. The oldest woman to climb the bridge was 100 years old.

A great family snap!

We originally had 12 in our group but lost one to her fear of heights shortly after we began our climb.

The lights of the city looked amazing from the top of the bridge.

Keith took this night shot of the bridge from the Waterfront restaurant.

You could always see three or four groups on a climb.

Having a little snack before the 3-1/2 hour climb.
