The Sydney Harbour Bridge, affectionately known as "The Coathanger," was completed in 1932 after eight gruelling years of construction. This colossal steel arch bridge connects Sydney’s CBD with the North Shore, spanning a whopping 503 metres and standing 134 metres above the water. Its construction was a marvel of engineering at the time, employing thousands of workers and costing about £6.25 million (a king's ransom back then). The bridge not only revolutionised transport but became an iconic symbol of Australia’s grit and ambition.
