Southeast Bridge Pylon

Climb up to the Pylon Lookout. Entrance is from the pedestrian walkway on Bradfield Highway approach to the bridge. (There is no entrance at the base of the Pylon in Dawes Point.) As you climb the 200 steps within the pylon, you pass 3 levels of exhibits describing pictorially the history of the bridge. The view at the Pylon Lookout is as good as from the Sydney tower, maybe better, as you are out in the open air and next to the harbour. It may be the cheapest way to take aerial photos of the harbour, including the Opera House. (You cannot take a camera with you on the bridge climb.)
