What type of shoe are you expected to wear to walk over Sydney Harbour Bridge?
Posted by Malcolm in Uncategorized on February 23, 2011
Are trainers OK or is footwear provided by the organisers of the walk?
Trainers are ok. you will be given a boiler suit to wear and a cap which will be tied to your lapel. if you wear glasses, then these too will be fastened to your boiler suit.
You will love it, I can honestly say that climbing Syndey Harbour Bridge has been my greatest experience to date. I loved it. $180 Aussie well spent. enjoy.
think they are pretty ok with most things, ie trainers or good walking boots with alot of tread….they will make you wear a nice light grey boiler suit thing which is pretty bland.make sure you look good though as they take ya photo up there.
you can go barefoot walking over the bridge if you like it is a public foot path wear whet you like
& there is no organisers for walking on a foot path
some thing flat with plenty of grip , can get windy up there
Assuming you are taking part in the Harbout bridge climb, you will need to wear comfortable enclosed shoes, that do up securely.
all shoes, sunglasses, cameras etc need to be able to secured to your person, they supply grey jump suits for you to wear and i think they may either supply a hat or they will give you a clip to secure your hat.
but as for shoes, running shoes/trainers even dunlop volleys would be fine.
dunlop volleys are available at k-mart and target and are relitavly inexpensive and have heaps of grip.
Just wear something comfortable. you don't have to worry about traction since you're hooked up to a safety cable. for some it's a long walk, so make sure you shoes are comfortable. May not want to expose your toes as it may get windy and a little cool.
Trainers are fine. It's no big walk.

Terminal blunders a tall tale

A NEW cruise passenger terminal proposed for White Bay could be a white elephant before it's even built.
A US cruise ship planning to call Sydney home won’t be able to use the terminal because the liner is too big to fit under the Harbour Bridge.
US cruise company Carnival Cruise Lines will instead dock its 88,500-tonne vessel Carnival Spirit at the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay because, at a height of 53m, it is 4m too tall to squeeze under the Bridge.
The company chose Sydney to be the location for the first of its ships to be based outside the US.
Sydney’s cruise market is booming, with 150 ships visiting Sydney this summer. Roughly two-thirds will dock west of the Bridge at Barangaroo.
Under plans announced by Premier Kristina Keneally in 2009, the terminal will be relocated to White Bay to make way for the Barangaroo redevelopment.
Plans for the new terminal are waiting for approval from the Planning Department, with construction due to be completed in 2012.
But the Tourism and Transport Forum lobby group said that, within a decade, 85 per cent of the cruise ships passing through Sydney’s sandstone heads will be too tall to berth west of the Bridge – making the White Bay terminal almost entirely redundant.
Carnival Australia chief executive Anne Sherry said the debate about how to accommodate the increasing number of big ships in Sydney had always been looking far into the future.
"everybody has been talking about it as a problem in the never never. But the never never is now," she said.
A long-term agreement was needed to berth cruise ships at the Royal Australian Navy’s Garden Island site.
"It’s the only deep-water wharf east of the Bridge," she said.
"It’s less of a temporary solution than a long-term solution."
A Sydney Ports spokesman said White Bay was chosen as the new terminal location because of its deep-water berths.
He also dismissed claims that Sydney was running out of berthing space on the eastern side of the Bridge .
"the Overseas Passenger Terminal remains vacant for approximately 80 per cent of the year and is more than capable of providing berthing room for a cruise ship operating out of Sydney all year round," he said.

Does the sydney harbour tunnel close on new years eve? if so what times does it close/reopen
The Sydney harbour tunnel doesn't close for the fireworks only the bridge. if the tunnel closed it would basically impossible to get from the city to the north shore etc.
There are some new years closure.
Check out New Year's Eve 2008 – Road closures

I'm not from/in Sydney, however, I don't reckon it would be closed. Imagine all the motorists trying to leave the city area after midnight on New Years Eve
This isn’t Sydney: Putty Beach
Posted by Malcolm in Uncategorized on December 18, 2010
Back again. how was yer February? Hot (Straylyans)? Snowy (Mericans)? Hello, Melbourne, that big hail all melted now?
New computer’s buggerising around, by the way, so this won’t be a very talky post.
Through the banksias and pigface to the sand.
Putty Beach is an ocean beach. That’s the Tasman Sea right there.
Ettalong Beach is an estuary beach but Putty Beach is on yer actual coast proper, on the edge of the Tasman. which is between us and Kiwiland (New Zealand) and at the bottom of the South Pacific Ocean. (Mappage at end of post.)
Anyways, it’s a beach. From it you can see Barrenjoey Head, where the lighthouse is. Squint a bit and you can see it in this photo. White job with a bit of red.
You can drive to Putty Beach from Ettalong, over the Rip Bridge, along Empire Bay Road, right into Wards Hill Road, right into the Scenic Drive, round two hairpin bends, left into Beach Drive and down to the carpark at the end. you can a bus there from Woy Woy station. in the Christmas holidays, you can get a ferry there, the old Cockatoo ferry.
A few people told me that big cliffy bit there on the left is Manly/North Head but it looks way too close to me. On the other hand, I got no idea what it is so maybe they’re right.
North Head is one side of the mouth of Sydney Harbour. the Manly ferry (the biggest of the Sydney ferries) goes across to the inside part of North Head, the Manly part. it goes fairly close to the mouth of the harbour and when the sea is really big the Manly ferry gets cancelled. (Mappage at end of post.)
Putty Beach, Hardys Bay, Barrenjoey Head, which way to Sydney.
Manly, North Head, Sydney Harbour and which way to Woy Woy.
American readers note that this is a thong. Now you can see why we giggle when you talk about wearing thongs on yer bums (butts).
