Sydney Harbour Bridge Gets Dwarfed

If it wasn’t enough that Dubai has the biggest of everything, they have now gone and taken on one of Australia’s favourite tourist destinations. They are creating a very sexy, and very large, arch bridge.
670 feet at its highest point and a mile long, this bridge will accommodate 12 lanes of highway giving it the ability to move 2000 vehicles per hour. The real whopper is the cost, which is set to be $US817 Million.
I will have to go to Dubai one day. Firstly to see all these fantastic creations that are being made there. The second reason is so I can find the money tree’s they have growing there (where does all that money come from otherwise?)

For all the Apple fanboys (and girls) in Australia, there is now another reason to visit Sydney city (other then to show off your iPhone). Soon a new Apple official retail outlet will be located on the corner of King Street and George Street (where the old Westpac use to be), which should be opening around the middle of 2008.
