| Summary |
Recounts how a giant steel arch, resembling a coat hanger, was conceived with the purpose of creating 'the people's bridge' by engineer J.J.C. Bradfield in partnership with politican Jack Lang. In the process, they stirred up controversy, both at home and in Britain. This 'people's bridge' was begun during the Great Depression and completed in March 1932. The story of its construction tells about seemingly insurmountable practical problems, human drama, personal conflicts and political intrigues. The end product was the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which not only altered the life of the city, but soon became the symbol of Sydney and Australia |
