During our time in Sydney, we had the unique opportunity to do the Sydney Harbor Bridge Climb. The massive bridge is a staple of the Sydney landscape and is commonly photographed with the opera house that sits right next to it. While ascending the bridge, the view was absolutely breathtaking. We could see a completely clear view of the city skyline as the sun was setting. The steel bridge itself weighs in at an impressive 52,000 tons and was created in 1932 by hundreds of workers. Our guide explained the history of the bridge as we ascended to the peak, which is 187ft, or 20 stories!
Being able to see the city we spent two weeks exploring in full view was so incredible and such a memorable experience. But what I think made it the most fun was spending it with such good friends that I made along the way throughout our trip. I wouldn’t trade these people and this experience for the world and know I am going to cherish it forever! (Submitted February 4, 2024)
