Sydney Harbour Bridge
Coathanger over water
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a steel arch bridge spanning Sydney Harbour in Australia, connecting the city's central business district to the North Shore.
Opened in 1932, it remains one of the world's largest steel arch bridges and an iconic symbol of Sydney.
Locals call it "the Coathanger" for its distinctive shape.
We walked across the Sydney Harbour Bridge at sunset.
