The view from the northeastern side of the South Pylon Lookout on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the tallest public lookout in Sydney for thirty years (1932-62).

The bridge itself was built from Dec 1926 to Sep 1931, and opened on March 19th 1932. It is 1149m long and handles approximately 160 000 cars each day. The steel arch is 134m tall and spans 503m. It was designed by Dr John Job Crew Bradfield (1867-1943), and the design was specifically chosen because it looked "strong & dramatic". The design was also inspired by the NYC Hell Gate Bridge.
