Address: South Steyne, Manly, Sydney 2095

Known to locals as "The Coat Hanger," this bridge was the longest single-span bridge in the world when it was built in 1932.

The bridge's arch spans 1605 feet and allows for eight lanes of traffic and two train tracks. If...

Address: Bennelong Point, Circular Quay, Sydney 2000
The name is actually a bit misleading since this building shelters much more than just an opera house. In fact, it includes five different performance spaces: a concert hall, an opera theatre and three spaces for dramatic arts. In addition, concerts and festivals are given outside in the courtyard area. The best way to get into most performance...
