Sydney is home to many great looking bridges. Some you can walk over and some you can drive over. And if you are a train user you’ll probably cross some via rain too.
They all are great to photograph in their own way, and with so many different angles and times of day it is really endless to how much you can shoot.
The list of Sydney bridges is a long one and far more than I thought myself, but here are some of the great Sydney bridges I have photographed so far, and I’ll get to many more over the years and add them in one day too.
Anzac Bridge
Joining the CBD to the Inner West and the Western Sydney suburbs is the beautif Anzac Bridge. Combined with the skyline of Sydney here at sunrise, it is just a great location all round.
Tom Uglys Bridge
Linking St George on the north side and the Sutherland Shire on the south. It’s a unique bridge in that it looks like a Macarno set on one side going north and a standard bridge going south. The perspective is pretty different but a great sport to shoot.
Como Bridge
Another bridge linking St George and Sutherland, with Oatley in the north and Como on the side side. Both are beautiful suburbs and this one is reserved for trains and pedestrians so you can’t drive over this one but it surrounds are just awesome.
Captain Cook Bridge
Captain Cook Bridge, again joins the St George and Sutherland Shire. It runs parallel to Tom Uglys Bridge and on a sunny day it is picture perfect.
Woronora Bridge
Southern Sydney’s own Woronora Bridge, links the the east and west of the Sutherland Shire and in the middle is the river suburb Woronora. A beautiful looking bridge at night time as shown here as the pillars are in the river itself.
Sea Cliff Bridge
Wollongong’s own Sea Cliff Bridge, although it’s not in Sydney as it is further south, but it’s still close enough to claim. Linking the norther end of Wollongong, you can both drive and walk along it. The view alone is worth the trip.
Sydney Harbour Bridge
But my favourite bridge of all has to be the perfect Sydney Harbour Bridge, just an amazing sight that joins the CBD to North Sydney, but really links so much of our city. It looks great from any angle but I think the best is from The Rocks as shown in the last shot.
There are a fair few more great bridges in Sydney and it’s surrounds, and as soon as I can get to tick the rest of them off I’ll be there. So if you are up for some different things to photograph in Sydney I’d definitely recommend a few day trips to check these and more out.
Til next time!
