Notes:
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a steel through arch bridge across Sydney Harbour that carries rail, vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic between the Sydney central business district and the North Shore. The dramatic view of the bridge, the harbour, and the nearby Sydney Opera House is an iconic image of both Sydney and Australia. The bridge is locally nicknamed “The Coat Hanger” because of its arch-based design.

Under the directions of Dr J.J.C. Bradfield of the NSW Department of Public Works, the bridge was designed and built by English firm Dorman Long and Co Ltd of Middlesbrough, and opened in 1932. According to the Guinness World Records, it is the world’s widest long-span bridge. It is also the fifth longest spanning-arch bridge in the world, and it is the tallest steel arch bridge, measuring 134 metres from top to water level. [Wiki]

  1. Hi there ! I am staying in Malaysia. Where can I get this 750 pc wonderful world Sydney Harbour Bridge jigsaw puzzle? Amazon and e-bay do not ship this item to my country. Any suggestion how and where can I get this puzzle? :S I love this puzzle alot !!! In fact I had one same puzzle with me but I lost one piece of the puzzle unfortunately. So, I wanted to get a new one !

    • Hi. I don’t know of any specific store carrying puzzles that would ship to Malaysia, sorry. What some people would do is purchase it online and ship it to a friend’s address in another country. Then your friend should be able to ship it to you regular mail (unless there are policies between that country and Malaysia to prevent such a shipment). It might cost quite a bit in shipping fees though. Or if someone is coming to visit you in Malaysia and you have the seller ship the puzzle to them, they could bring it along.
