One of the highlights of our Sydney visit was seeing the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge, and then walking over it after lunch. Locals call it "the coathanger" and it's the widest long-span bridge in the world, taking eight years to build. You can read more about it here. I took alot of pictures from different perspectives, and we had great views of the harbour and Sydney Opera House while walking over it. Many people pay around $200 to climb it, but I was pretty sure my fear of heights would be a problem.
