Harbour Bridge
One of Sydney's most famous landmarks, the Harbour Bridge (known
locally as the 'Coat Hanger') was completed in 1932 after claiming
16 lives during its construction. The bridge spans the 1,600-foot
(500m) gap from the north to the south shore, which was previously
only accessible by ferry, and accommodates pedestrian walkways, two
railway lines and an eight-lane road. Visitors can experience the
bridge in an adventurous way by climbing to the top as part of an
organised group for breathtaking views and a feeling of personal
achievement. For the less daring 200 steps lead to the Pylon
Lookout for equally fantastic views at 285 feet (87m) above the
water, with three levels of exhibits on the way up depicting the
history and construction of the bridge.

bureaux de change exchange most foreign currencies. Travellers
cheques are also welcome everywhere, but banks take a small
commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies
(e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit
cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout
the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to
Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer
extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
