The Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of Australia's most well know and photographed landmarks. It is the world's largest (but not the longest) steel arch bridge with the top of the bridge standing 134 metres above the harbour.

Fondly know by the locals the the 'coathanger' the Sydney Harbour Bridge celebrated it's 70th birthday in 2002, with its official opening in March 1932.

Did you know that Paul Hogan (Crocodile Dundee) started his working life working on the Sydney Harbour Bridge as a rigger?

A little bit of trivia :!: :lol: :lol:
