Sydney Harbour Bridge Souvenir SYDNEY HA,.RBOUR BRIDGE. ~ . ~~~ERE have been many changes in.the State administration of New South Wales ·--~~~~ since the lat~ Sir Henry Parkes dramatically paraphrased the call of Horatius j ~~ Codes : "Now who will stand at my right hand, and build the bridge with me ? " . But Sydney, the principal seaport of Australia, which in importance is only _ exceeded by four ports in the United Kingdom-London, Liverpool, the Tyne, and Cardiff--still remains with a missing link in her roadway and railway services. The first suggestion to link Sydney with North Sydney was made in I8IS by Francis H. Greenway, Government Architect, in a r.eport to Governor Macquarie. In letters to The A·ustralian some y~a:rs later, Greenway wrote;- · · . "Tim~ in the event of the Bridge being thrown across from Dawes Battery to the North Shore, a toWn. would be built on that shore, and would have formed with these buildings, a grand whole; that would have indeed surprised anyone on entering the Harbour: and haye given an idea of strength and magnificence that would have - reflected credit and glory on the Colony and the Mother Country." The first-known drawing of a ! ~ridge to North Sydney was made in I857 by a Sydney Engineer, Mr.~ Peter Henderson, for. a' bridge from near Dawes Point; Sydney, to near Milson's · Point, North Sydney. In i878, l\fr. W. C. Bennett, then Commissioner for Roads and Bridges, stated that he favoured a floating bridge from Dawes Point to Milson's Point, to carry vehicles, passengers, and, if necessary, a railway train. In I8Jg, Mr. 1. S. Parrott prepared a sketch design of a truss bridge of seven spans from Dawes Point to Milson's Point, J the longest span being.sao feet. In I88o, negotiations were opened between the Govern­ ment and Mr. J •. E. Garbett, representing a company which was prepared to top.struct a high-level bridge· to the North Shore at a cost of £8so,ooo, upon condition that the Govern­ ment guaranteed an amount equal to 3! per cent. upon the cost of construction for a period of thirty years. Sir John Fowler prepared plans for a suspension bridge_ to Milson's Point for vehicular traffic at an estimated cost of Sir HENRY PARKES. £4oo,ooo. Tunnel connection as a · counter proposal to a bridge was first m?-de by Mr. C. O'Neill, - M.Inst.C.E., in conjunction with Mr. Gipps, C.E. His proposal was made in January, I885,'and in I887 the Govemme.nt was asked to guaran-tee 4 per cent. on the cost of the two tunnels proposed-{me for railway traffic, an_d one for road traffic. SYDNEY HARBOUR BRIDGE. In January, r888, a deputation waited upon the late Sir Henry Parke'? to urge the construction of a bridge as an undertaking fitting to mark the Centenary of the Colony. Public agitation continued, and in response thereto, in March, r8go, the Government appointed a Royal Commission to inquire into the proposed extension of the railway into the City and the North Sydney connection. Eight schemes were submitted for connecting North Sydney by bridge, whilst at least four witnesses favoured a tunnel. The Royal Commission reported "that at present it was inexpedient to connect the North Shore with Sydney by means of a bridge or tunnel, but the Commission is of the opinion, upon the evidence before it, that, if it should be found necessary to connect North Shore with Sydney, it should be by means of a high­ level bridge, and that if it were possible to throw a bridge across in one span, such plan should be adopted." From r8g6 t o r8gg, four Bills were introduced into Parlia­ ment with the object of securing the connection by private enter­ prise. Two of these Bills provided for a bridge connection, the other two Bills for tunnel connection. No progress was made with any of these Bills. After two deputations had 1 urged that the construction of a bridge be put in hand by the Go vernment, or failing that, by private enterprise, the Ron. E. W. O'Sullivan, then Minister for Public Works, on the 4th January, r goo, called for com­ petitive designs and tenders. None of the designs received were con­ sidered satisfactory. Mr. O'Sullivan, on 25th March, rgor, appointed an Advi­ sory Board which called for competitive designs and tenders throughout the world for a bridge from Dawes Point to McMahon's Point, and after mature consider­ ation recommended the acceptance of the tender of J Stewart & Co., at a total cost, including approaches, of £r,g4o,oso. The Sir GEORGE FULLER (Premier). incoming Government did not accept the tender recommended. In igo8, another Royal Commission was appointed to report on the best practical method of establishing communication between Sydney and North Sydney. The Commission reported in favour of separate subways for railway, tramway, and vehicular traffic, based on a depth of . water of 40 feet above the subways at low-water, as against the bridge recommended by the Advisory Board. As a result of a deputation from the Master Carriers' Association, the Ron. Arthur Griffith, Minister for Public Works, announced in Parliament on rgth July, rgrr, that " Cabinet SOUVENIR. had that day decided that a definite prbposal for a bridge to carry tramway, vehicular, and pedestrian traffic, but not a railway, should be submitted immediately to the Public Works Committee, and concurrently with that, a proposal for a subway to connect the North Sydney Railway system with the City system." In giving evidence before the Public Works Committee in rgrr and rgrz, Mr. J. J. C. Bradfield, who in rgoo:...rgo3, with Professor Warren and Mr. H. H. Dare, checked the designs and tenders received during the regime of the Hon. E. W. O'Sullivan, emphasised the fact that the depth of water as proposed, viz., 40 feet, was too little for the prospective shipping, and a subway providing for this depth only would block the development of the harbour. He gave most interesting evidence in support thereof, but space in this brief history will not admit of its publication. Mr. T. R . Johnson, the then Chief Commissioner for Railways, was strongly opposed to the tramway subway recommended by the Royal Commission, holding that the trams should not be brought across the Harbour, but that North Sydney, Mosman, Manly, Willoughby, Lane Cove, and the Shire of Warringah should be connected to the city by means of fast electric railway service. Mr. Bradfield submitted designs and estimates for both suspension and cantilever bridges, but recommended the latter type of bridge on account of the heavy railway loading which the bridge would have to carry. In this recommendation he was supported by Professor Warren and lVIr. T. R. Johnson, Chief Railway Commissioner. Hon. J. H. CANN. Two designs for cantilever bridges were submitted by him, both having the same clear span of r,6oo feet without piers in the fairway, the headway for shipping in the design with low piers being 170 feet over the central 6oo feet reducing to 50 feet at the piers; the other design, reqommended by the Public Works Committee, has a headway of 170 feet over the central. 6oo feet and not less than 156 feet over the whole fairway at high water. The cost of the former bridge would at present day prices be, · perhaps, £3oo,ooo less than the design adopted giving the better headway. After a lengthy inquiry, during which the advantages of bridge and subway connection were fully considered, and acting on the advice of lVIr. David Hay, JVI.Inst.C.E., of the firm of lVIott and Hay, London, the Public Works Committee reported :- · · · "That in the opinion of the Committee, it is expedient to connect Sydney and North Sydney by means of a bridge, and they recommend the adoption of the scheme submitted by lVIr. J . J. C. Bradfield, Chief Engineer, .Metropolitan Railway Construction, for the construction of a cantilever bridge from Dawes Point to Milson's Point, carrying four lines of railway, one road­ way 35 feet wide, one rhotor roadway IJ feet 6 inc·hes wide, and one footway I5 feet wide, at ·an estimated cost of £2,750,ooo." · · Hon. J. ESTELL, M.L.C. In rgr6 the Hon. J. H. Cann, lVI.L.A., twiCe introducfd ·- a Bill in the Assembly for the co.nstruction of the bddge, providing for the tax of !d. in the £ on the unimproved value capital of lands benefited in th!'! City of Sydney and the Shires and Municipalities on the northern side of the Harbour. This Bill twice passed through all its stages in the Legislative Assembly; in the Legislative Council, however, the Bill was rejected once at the second reading, and once at the third reading stage, by three votes. SYDNEY HARBOUR BRIDGE. In August, 1920, a deputa­ tion of Members of Parliament, Aldermen and Councillors repre­ senting the municipalitie and shires on the northern side of the harbour, waited on the Hon. John Storey, the then Premier. and urged the construction :: the bridge.

  • The AWA Microphone for Harbour Bridge 75Th
    ..The Microphone used for the Sydney Harbour Bridge Opening ceremony. Compiled by David Burger, March 2007 with material from: - Phil Burgess Telstra, - Ted Miles – ex AWA technician. Press Release No. 94 (14/03/07) – Telstra's Sydney Harbour Bridge 75th birthday gift Phil Burgess, GMD, Public Policy and Communication, Telstra. Telstra has donated a rare microphone from its historical collection used to open the Sydney Harbour Bridge 75 years ago to the Sydney Powerhouse Museum - and it has created a bit of excitement. The Reisz microphone is a rare example of Australian technology manufactured in 1930 and was used to broadcast the 1932 opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge to thousands of people. What has made the microphone especially significant is the signatures of all 10 dignitaries at the opening ceremony, including the NSW Premier John T Lang, NSW Governor Philip Game and the Bridge's Chief Engineer, JJC Bradfield. Speaking at the official donation event, Telstra's Group Managing Director PP&C Phil Burgess said that Telstra was proud to share this wonderful piece of Australian history with the community on the 75th birthday of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. "Every good piece of history has a story behind it and this microphone is no exception," Dr Burgess said. "Thanks to the Powerhouse Museum, many more people will be able to see and understand the role it played in unveiling a great Aussie icon." Why did Telstra have the microphone in its historical collection? The microphone became one of a collection of microphones owned by Mr Philip Geeves who was announcing for AWA (Amalgamated Wireless Australia Ltd) on the day of the Sydney Harbour Bridge opening.

Assessor's Summary of Significance: The building of the Sydney Harbour Bridge was a major event in Australia's history, representing a pivotal step in the development of modern Sydney and one of Australia’s most important cities. The bridge is significant as a symbol of the aspirations of the nation, a focus for the optimistic forecast of a better future following the Great Depression. With the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Australia was felt to have truly joined the modern age, and the bridge was significant in fostering a sense of collective national pride in the achievement.

  • Book Notes: the Sesquicentenary Committee
    BOOK NOTES By David Clune * In a recent Book Note, two works sponsored by the Sesquicentenary of Responsible Government in NSW Committee were mentioned. As the Sesquicentenary year advances, readers of Australasian Parliamentary Review may be interested in a summary of what else has been published so far under the Committee’s auspices. The Sesquicentenary Committee is funding works on the major political parties and minor parties and independents in NSW. Michael Hogan’s Local Labor: A history of the Labor Party in Glebe, 1891–2003 (Federation Press, 2005) is a pioneering account of the ALP at grass roots level that also tells the story of Labor in NSW in microcosm. Recently published is Paul Davey’s The Nationals: The Progressive, Country and National Party in New South Wales 1919 to 2006 (Federation Press, 2006). A former journalist and Federal Director and NSW Secretary of the National Party, Paul Davey provides a sympathetic but balanced assessment of the Nationals and their predecessors. The Sesquicentenary Committee has combined with the State Records Authority of NSW to produce an administrative history of NSW. Hilary Golder’s Politics, Patronage and Public Works: The administration of New South Wales, Vol. 1, 1842–1900 (UNSW Press) was published in 2005. The next volume, Humble and Obedient Servants: The Administration of New South Wales 1901–1960 Vol. 2 by Peter J Tyler (UNSW Press) is now available. A Guide to New South Wales State Archives Relating to Responsible Government has also been published (State Records Authority of NSW, 2006). A number of biographical works have been sponsored.

  • Neville Wran. Australian Biographical Monographs No. 5, by David Clune
    158 Neville Wran. Australian Biographical Monographs No. 5, by David Clune. Cleveland (Qld): Connor Court Publishing, 2020. pp. 80, Paperback RRP $19.95 ISBN: 9781922449092 Elaine Thompson Former Associate Professor, University of New South Wales. It’s been many years since I’ve thought about Neville Wran, so I came to this monograph with an oPen mind, limited by two Personal judgements. The first was the belief that Wran was a giant of his time, a real leader and moderniser. The second was the tragedy (farce) of his last years. It was a reminder to us all that there are no guarantees that a great life will be rewarded with a kind death: for Neville Wran that was certainly not the case. Luckily, now with time we remember his leadershiP, his modernising Policies and his largely successful ability to dominate an extraordinarily Powerful Political Party with its deeP factions. David Clune’s monograph, through the use of first-hand materials and comments from Wran’s colleagues, takes us through Wran’s rise to Power, his successes as Premier and his fall via the web of corruPtion and scandal that ended his Premiership. Clune’s narrative is clear and remarkably free of value-judgements. It reminds us just how moribund the Politics and Parliament of NSW were at the time leading uP to Wran’s Government and of all the talent Wran brought with him, which transformed NSW Politics, Policy and Parliament. Of course, there were failures; things left incomPlete and the embedded corruPt culture of NSW Politics largely ignored. Nonetheless, in this monograph we gain a Picture of an extraordinary man leading Australia (via NSW) into the modern era.

  • Phillips, Michael
    Australian Earthquake Engineering Society 2013 Conference, Nov 15-17 2013, Hobart, Tas Measuring Bridge Characteristics to Predict their Response in Earthquakes Michael Phillips1 and Kevin McCue2 1. EPSO Seismic, PO Box 398, Coonabarabran, NSW 2357. Email: [email protected] 2. Adjunct Professor, Central Queensland University, Rockhampton, Qld 4701. Email: [email protected] Abstract During 2011 and 2012 we measured the response of the Sydney Harbour Bridge (SHB) to ambient vibration, and determined the natural frequencies and damping of various low-order resonance modes. These measurements were conducted using a simple triaxial MEMS acceleration sensor located at the mid-point of the road deck. The effectiveness of these measurements suggested that a full mapping of modal amplitudes along the road deck could be achieved by making many incremental measurements along the deck, then using software to integrate these data. To accommodate the briefer spot-measurements required, improved recording equipment was acquired, resulting in much improved data quality. Plotting the SHB deck motion data with 3D graphics nicely presents the modal amplitude characteristics of various low order modes, and this analysis technique was then applied to a more complex bridge structure, namely the road deck of Sydney’s Cahill Expressway Viaduct. Unlike the single span of the SHB, the Cahill Expressway Viaduct (CHE) dramatically changes its modal behavior along its length, and our analysis system highlights a short section of this elevated roadway that is seismically vulnerable. On the basis of these observations, the NSW Roads & Maritime Services (RMS) indicated that they will conduct an investigation into the structure at this location.

  • Bruce Smith and Anglo-Australian Liberalism
    The Historical Journal (2021), 1–21 doi:10.1017/S0018246X21000522 ARTICLE Bruce Smith and Anglo-Australian Liberalism Alastair Paynter School of Humanities (History), University of Southampton, Southampton, UK Email: [email protected] Abstract Bruce Smith (1851–1937) was the most prominent Australian exponent of classical or ‘old’ liberalism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Although his polit- ical career was not particularly successful, he was notable as the foremost defender of individualism as the authentic liberal creed, exemplified by his 1887 work Liberty and liberalism. He consistently attacked new liberalism, with its acceptance of extensive state interference, and socialism, as inimical to individual liberty and national prosper- ity. Although he is now recognized as an important figure in the Australian liberal pan- theon, there has been relatively little attention to his thought outside Australia itself, despite his extensive connections to Britain. The general trajectory of Australian liber- alism from ‘individualism’ to ‘collectivism’ was mirrored in Britain from the 1880s, especially during Prime Minister William Gladstone’s second and third administrations, when the radicals within the Liberal party grew in influence and the aristocratic whig moderates waned. Smith maintained close links with the British Liberty and Property Defence League, which dedicated itself to fighting against collectivism, as well as with his personal hero, the philosopher Herbert Spencer, from whom his own politics derived much influence. This article considers Smith’s thought through the prism of Anglo-Australian politics. As a political culture, Australia did not make much impression on British minds until relatively late in the nineteenth century.
