Books - Sydney Harbour Bridge

Product Description:
On March 19, 1932, after nine years' planning and building, more than a million Australians crossed the newly opened Sydney Harbour Bridge, the largest arch bridge in the world. This lavishly illustrated book celebrates the 75th anniversary of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It tells the extraordinary story of its design and construction, the drama of its official opening, and the way it has taken a central place in Sydney's celebrations and become a much-loved symbol of the city. The Bridge has inspired great art and drawn visitors from all over the world to marvel and climb it, yet it is still so familiar that Sydneysiders refer to it endearingly as 'the coathanger'. The Sydney Harbour Bridge: A Life celebrates not only a magnificent structure, but the people who use it.
