Overview

This self-guided audio tour of the Sydney Harbour Bridge has been carefully curated by a former Bridgeclimb climb leader/guide, who has climbed the bridge over 300 times. It explains the construction and history of the bridge, taking you from water level, through The Rocks and Dawes Point, and then up onto the pedestrian walkway.

At each stop there are interactive outdoor escape-room style puzzles that will challenge your problem-solving skills, and require you to decode, decipher, and solve them!

Audio and directions are delivered through our app, providing audiobook-quality commentary that explains all the details of the bridge, while our physical tour booklets and puzzle tools will provide diagrams, illustrations, and information required to solve the puzzles, as well as a pen/pencil to help you along the way.

Activity itinerary

Sydney Harbour

This tour will start beneath the bridge, and looking up and underneath the bridge you will hear about the construction, engineering, and the momentous occasion of when the two half arches met in the middle above the water. Our audiobook quality commentary will explain the details of how people used to cross the harbour prior to the bridges construction, the work, the impacts on the city, and the cost of building this critical piece of Australian history. This stop has puzzles to be solved.

Dawes Point Park

Standing at the base of the pylon on the southern side, you will hear how the pylons were constructed and huge tunnels were dug in order to support the weight of the arch before the bridge was finished. You'll learn how the granite came from the South Coast of NSW, and was transported by ship and carefully put in place on the facades of the pylons. This location gives a sense of how much effort went into building this truly incredible structure. This tour stop has puzzles to be solved.

The Rocks

We take a step back in time, and wander down cobblestone streets to understand what this area was like before the bridge was built. Hear the stories of how Sydney was "a city of beggers", making it almost impossible to get a job at the time, yet the bridge provided employment, and food on the table, for hundreds of families. We also look into the impact the bridge had on this area, knowing that 800 homes and businesses were cleared in order to make way for the bridges huge footprint. This stop has puzzles to solve.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Head up onto the pedestrian walkway to look over the road deck, the lanes of traffic, and the exact location where the bridge was finally opened in the public in 1932. But keep your ears out... it wasn't all smooth sailing up until that point, with drama at the opening ceremony, and even a plan to kidnap the premier of the day! At this stop you will hear about how a million people showed up in Sydney for this historic moment, the day the bridge opened. This stop has puzzles to be solved.

Pylon Lookout at Sydney Harbour Bridge

Finally, hear how the bridge has played host to many celebrities, including Will Smith, Oprah Winfrey, and our very own Paul Hogan, aka Crocodile Dundee. We dive into the importance that the bridge plays in Australian history and culture, and how a bland grey bridge managed to inspire not just a city, but the whole country. There is puzzles to be solved at this stop. The tour will finish at the Pylon, right beside the entry to the Pylon lookout museum (please note entry to the pylon lookout is *not* included, but is a great way to see stunning views over the city).
