I am going to Australia and I heard of a bridge that is beautiful?

Question

I want to know Is the bridge free to walk over and is it true that I have to be cabled to the bridge when I walk over it? I'm not sure if this bridge is in Sydney or Cairns.

Hey Waltz what does your answer mean?

Answer 1

The bridge is in Sydney, across the harbour from the opera house (which is also amazing). (check that out too if you get a chance) The bridge climb tour is incredible. There are two different guided tours. Yes you are harnessed in because you are climbing on top of the bridge. Not sure how much they charge to do it. I was there back in 1999. Of course prices could have changed since then.

Australia is a beautiful and amazing place. If you go to Cairns, go on the scuba diving tour at the Great Barrier Reef. Even if you have never scuba dived before,they give you a crash course. Well worth it!!! Hope this helps. Have fun!

Answer 2

It is free to walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge deck at road level. There is a footpath on the eastern side.

You have to pay to climb the arch, and when you do that you are permanently attached with a cable. It is a great experience, even for a local like me.

There is a third option. You can climb the south east tower thing for about AU$10 - a lot cheaper than climbing the arch and you are high (but not as high as the arch. You can also take your own camera on this one which you cannot do if you climb the arch.

Answer 3

you can walkup to the top of the Storey Bridge in Brisbane and yes you are tied to the bridge by a cable so you don't get silly ideas like jumping off.
you can also climb to the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
There is a fee and usually two climbs a day. Takes about 1/12 hrs.

Answer 4

The answer is Sydney.
The bridge is named Sydney Harbor Bridge

Sydney Harbour Bridge is the fairest of 'em all, but if you're going to Queensland and Gold Coast, we have brisbane bridge too which is picturesque especially at night time. Cheers!

Answer 9

there are two options -

Sydney harbour bridge which is free to drive or walk across, but to do a bridge climb you have to pay. You are attached by harness to the bridge so you don't fall off. You are also given a guided tour.
