At 9am I met the teacher Marion and some classmates at Kogarah station. We bought student return tickets and caught the train to Town Hall station. Then we changed toanother line and went to Circular Quay.
At 9.50am we arrived at Circular Quay station outside wharf 6 and met the teacher Rose and other
classmates.Then we went to the bridge's pylon on foot. We saw many boats, ferries and ships on the harbour when we were walking on the Harbour Bridge. After 20
minutes we arrived at the Pylon Lookout, and we walked in and went up the steps.On level one , first we bought tickets and saw a display in the central chamber about the Harbour Bridge's history and construction. We saw six pieces of beautiful stained glass windows in this room. They showed diffrent trades on the windows. We could see a surveyoy measuring levels, a concrete worker mixing cement, a painter high up in the steelwork of the bridge, a rigger, a stone mason working on the granite faced pylons, a riveter and the silhouette of a dog-man hight above the other workers.
Then we went up the steps to level two, Level two has a souvenir shop. they sell post cards, caps,snow globes and many diffrent souvenirs. I was interested in an Australian Music Box. I don't know how they make them but they're $20 each-no cheap!
Next we went up the steps to level three. this is the top. There was a lot of information about the Harbour Bridge in the top room. Then we went outside and saw spectacular panoramic views of the city of Sydney. On the east we could see the Opera House and the beautiful Sydney Harbour. On the south we could see the Sydney Tower and many tall buildings. On the north we could see the top of the Harbour Bridge and saw some people cilmbing the bridge. How wonderful! We took a lot of photographs.
Finally we wwent down the steps to level one and watched a short audio-visual feature highlighting rare photographs. Then we finished this excursion and went home.
It was a lovely and exciting day!!!
