Episode Details

Imagine a city divided by a massive, deep harbour where the only way across is waiting in a huge line for a slow ferry boat! That was Sydney, Australia in the early 1900s. But then, an engineer had a giant dream to build a massive steel rainbow across the water! Join Mira and Finn as they travel back in time to discover how the world-famous Sydney Harbour Bridge was built! Learn about the workers who hung hundreds of feet in the sky with no safety harnesses, throwing red-hot metal rivets through the air like a crazy circus act. We'll hear the unbelievable true story of a man who fell from a 40-story height into the water and survived! Plus, find out why locals nicknamed this massive 52,800-tonne structure "The Coathanger" and hear about the wild opening day when a mysterious man on horseback crashed the party with a giant sword! Get ready for flying metal, ocean-sized buckets of paint, and one of the coolest engineering marvels in history!
