The Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of the very few bridges in the world where you can climb to the top of its steel arch - for a fee, of course. Professional instructors lead the climb, with climbers connected by safety ropes, wearing special suits. You can't bring personal equipment, but the instructors take photos for you.

Adventure-loving Australians have turned almost all their tall structures into climbing attractions - from skyscrapers to mountains - and naturally, the Harbour Bridge couldn't escape this treatment.

But I should mention: climbing the Harbour Bridge costs 200 AUD, and you'll spend two hours in the sun without a hat - enough time to get some serious tan lines!
