Bridge Climbs - Australia

There are a many bridge climb, walks adventures and tours available in Australia that are much loved by the locals and tourists.

The most popular and famous is the spectacular Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb which is thrilling, challenging, and scary at times, but is very safe as your harness is always connected to the superstructure.

The famous Harbour Bridge is one of the most loved and well-known engineering structures in the world, especially after the Sydney Olympics.

The view from the top of the arch (the 'coat-hangar as it is called) is fantastic as you can see the Opera House and the Sydney Harbour.

On this unique climbing challenge you will ascend about 1600 metres of steel while firmly secured with a safety line.

The path will take you up steep ladders, across catwalks and through many arches on your way to the top.

This is a great adventure to do with your friend.


The climb of the Story Bridge in Brisbane, Queensland is another favourite of offers you a spectacular view of the Brisbane central business district and the Brisbane River.

The climb is almost 1 km long, and takes you over the steel superstructure of the bridge.

At the top of the climb you will be almost 80m above the Brisbane River and you can enjoy the unique panoramic views that is only seen by your fellow adventures.

On the bridge climb walk you will hear interesting commentary and information about Brisbane's history and heritage.

The walk takes about two and a half hours and there are climbs at twilight, dawn, during the day and at night.
