Thread: building Sydney harbour bridge

Sydney's not the only place with a Sydney Harbour bridge, there is a scaled down version in Tecoma in someone's front yard, and it has a fish pond harbour

Didn't see Hoges with his brush out anywhere. maybe that was a bit later.

I see that every time I go to my matey's place at the top of Sandels Rd. It could of course be a scaled down version of the Tyne Bridge

Proud to hear Moruya mentioned, I live on the opposite bank of the river from the Harbour Bridge Quarry (Zieglers Quarry). Moruya granite was first noticed by Bradfield in the Bank of NSW in Martin Place and was traced back to Louttits quarry on my side of the river about 200 metres from my front door.
Also the columns of the GPO building in Martin Place came from this same quarry (Louttits), Zieglers monumental quarry on the opposite bank was chosen because of it's better anchorage, one of Moruya's claims to fame, has many others, regards Frank.

It looks incredible as its coming together in the film,, I imagine seeing it right in front of you in person must have just been phenomenal.
It truly is a work of art. Cant wait to get up there and climb it one day.

The Sydney harbor bridge is truly an icon of being Australian. A tribute to fine engineering and dedicated skilled tradesmen. Nothing will be built in the future to rival the workmanship demonstrated in this structure. Like the Forth bridge in Scotland, it is known as "the bridge" not the "rail bridge". There is a modern "road" bridge next to it that barely rates a mention. The same can be said for the original iron bridge over the Murray at Moama/Echuca. Well over 100 years old and still in use. Love the old school.
