Sydney Apartments

Harbor Bridge. If you want to enjoy the most beautiful view on the harbor, you should visit one of the tower of famous Harbor Bridge (or 'the old hanger' as the natives call it). The bridge's weight is 61 000 tons and its cost is 20 million Australian dollars. It was finished in 1932 and you can get to it only from the Rocks (the historical center). It's 1150 meters long (just a few meters shorter than Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco), the width of its arch is 503 m. The bridge connects the northern and southern parts of the city.

The Rocks. The Rocks is a historical part of the city that was turned into a shopping and gastronomical area. Along the coast line are located lots of restaurants with the splendid view on the Opera House. On the eastern bank of the Sydney Cove over the Rocks takes place a part of Harbor Bridge. From this place started the history of Australia, when the first colonists built their houses on the rocks between the Sydney Cove and the Walsh Bay, and started to go further to explore the continent.
