Sydney's largest bridge, one of the largest
steel arch bridges in the world. The bridge
was opened on March 19, 1932. The New
York Hell Gate Bridge served as a model
for the bridge. Due to the characteristic
shape of the arched structure, the bridge
received the nickname "Hanger"
Construction of the bridge began in 1912
and was completed in 1916. It took more
steel than the Manhattan Bridge and the
Queensboro Bridge combined. The
trusses are made of new material in
those years: high-carbon steel. The mass
of the largest farms is 185 tons. The
bridge is able to support the weight of 60
locomotives at the same time.

Koalas inhabit eucalyptus forests, spend almost
all their lives in the crowns of these trees. During
the day, the koala sleeps, perched on a branch or
in the forks of branches; at night it climbs trees,
looking for food. Even if the koala does not sleep,
he usually sits completely motionless for hours,
clutching a branch or tree trunk with his front
paws. Koala is motionless for 16-18 hours a day.
He does not move very well on the ground and
therefore goes down only to move to a new tree,
which he cannot jump to. Koalas jump from tree to
tree surprisingly deftly and confidently; fleeing,
these usually slow and phlegmatic animals switch
to an energetic gallop and quickly climb the
nearest tree. They can swim.
