Affectionately known as The Coat Hanger because of it's shape. This is still one of the great engineering feats of the world. Scrape together the $'s to do the bridge climb. We have all done it and it was amazing. Also make sure you find the time to walk across the pedestrian footpath as you really get a feel of it's size.
