Written to celebrate the opening of the much-awaited Sydney Harbour Bridge. Includes lines from 'Advance Australian Fair'. 'Folks from Manly gay, or over Mosman way. Now they can take a stroll across to Double Bay! If you miss the midnight ferry, there's a path from shore to shore. Australian sons let us rejoice - it's the bridge we've been waiting for!'
Background still for this image is from Sydney's Harbour Bridge (1933).
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
