Ultimate view of Sydney
Nobody has ever been celebrated for going halfway and turning back again, so why should Sydney Harbour BridgeClimb be any different. The new Ultimate climb will see visitors climbing the bridge from south to north and all the way back again.
Not even Oprah or Prince Harry have seen the jaw-dropping views the Coathanger's northern side has to offer.
Now you can be among the first to make the full 1621-step voyage and take in views across Sydney's north, including Lavender Bay, Luna Park and Kirribilli.
Beware, this 3.5-hour journey is for adventurous climbers with "full fitness". It's priced at $348 per adult/$149 per child.

A budget private jet?
Private air travel might become a lot more affordable with the new Celera 500L plane which is successfully flying in the US.
Otto Aviation claims its creation is the most fuel-efficient commercially viable passenger aircraft in the world. The bullet-shaped plane costs US$328 (AU$457) per hour to fly, compared to a huge US$2100 (AU$2925) per hour for a private jet. Flying at a similar speed to light jets, the Celera 500L consumes about an eighth of the fuel consumed by a light jet.
This dramatic reduction in fuel consumption makes the six-passenger Celera 500L the most environmentally friendly airplane in its class and is a major leap forward in the effort to develop a zero-emission air-transportation system. The plane has just completed 31 successful test flights.

The date has been set for the opening of the long-awaited Crystalbrook Flynn resort in Cairns.
Guests will be welcomed through the doors from November 10. The exciting news comes after a tumultuous six months for the tourism industry, which resulted in the delay of Flynn's opening which was originally set for March 2020.
