      I’m gonna be in Australia in May/June. I’m not gonna do it just because I don’t wanna spend the money on it. That bridge climb looks fun but expensive.
      I will be spending a lot more money on trains, crisscrossing Australia. Going from Sydney to Perth, and back on a train called the Indian Pacific. And then going from Darwin to Adelaide and back on a different train called The Ghan
      Not sure if you’ve heard of these, but they’re not like a typical passenger train. They’re more like a cruise ship. We stop along the way and visit the sites in Australia to get a full experience of Australia and the outback.

    Awesome video! I've lived in Sydney for 30 years and my wife and I did the bridge climb probably 20 years ago (We did it once in 2003 and once in 2005). Glad to hear it's still great. Would love to do it again :D

    The bridge walk was briefly considered for an upcoming trip until sticker shock set in. The fallback plan is my usual helicopter flight which is a third cheaper than the bridge climb at $250AUD and will allow photography. Thank you for the recommendation to visit the Pylon Lookout. The Sydney Tower was visited on a previous trip with disappointment over not being able to carry a camera on the skywalk.

    Its so worthwhile to do the bridge climb. Always tell people/friends to save up and do it at least once. I thought once would do it for me but I have done it 3 times😅 preferred the afternoon climb; dawn is risky as on ours,it was foggy and twiglight the view not so clear.

    It's very pricey, but once in a lifetime. I'm already losing weight and getting fitter, via walking, with the Bridge Climb as a goal...not the only goal, of course, but an achievable goal. I'm willing to pay the money to say, on my eventual death bed, that I did something, and achieve a goal I spent most of my life thinking was unachievable for me...I'm 51 (I'll be climbing the day after my 52nd birthday in Nov). Money comes and goes, experiences like this, achieving personal goals like this, only occur once and stay with you longer than the price has been forgotten.

    Only 3 bridges in the world you can climb. Sydney is by far the best. However, if you’re ever in Brisbane, the second best climb is there, and considerably cheaper. Prices start from $99.

    As an Aussie would I do the over priced tourist bridge climb? Not in a million years.
    What I would do, and have done, is climb the south eastern bridge pylon ($20ish), and if that wasn’t enough height, go to the much ‘higher’ observation deck of the Centrepoint Tower (aka Sydney Tower).
    Both of those offer 360 degree views over Sydney, spend as long as you want and take your own camera too.
    Bridge walk? Great to screw dollars out of tourists, being a local, no.

      @johnnewman366 6 місяців тому

      I haven’t done the climb? You are making and assumption, you are wrong, completely wrong.
      What I haven’t done, is ‘paid’ for the overpriced bridge climb, I was given a free gift voucher many many years ago (15+ years ago).
      I stand by what I said, I wouldn’t pay the overpriced tourist fee for the climb.
      Think again dumbo.

    I would like to walk over the coathanger but it is far too expensive. It's fine for tourists as a once in a lifetime experience. If the prices were lowered then they might attract repeat business from us locals. I suggest using the pedestrian crossing on the bridge as it has great views and it's free. The pylon at the southern end is also reasonably priced and gives good views of the city.

    • @samandnick
