After an initial set of ladders and a scurry across a walkway beneath the road, a gentle sloping pathway takes you all the way to the top. Radio s on the windy bridge enables your group leader to pass on various anecdotes about the bridge and it s construction. The group leader is also in possession of a digital camera. Several times on the way up and down there is a pose for photos. A group shot is included as a part of the package and the others are offered for sale immediately after the tour.
Photo s are worthwhile as the view s are stunning.
On the one side is a fantastic view of the opera house, harbor and the sky scrapers of the city. On the other the city stretches on and you can spot points of interest like the Olympic village and on a clear day look at the stunning Blue Mountains. We went up just as the sun was setting and got to experience the view by day, twilight and the evocative night with the lights of the city shining up at us. Three hours after you began training, the group descends past the train tracks and back to the center. Leaving you feeling grateful for first class organization of a wonderful experience.
