Virtual Treadmill Walk - Sea Cliff Bridge, NSW Australia (With Sound)
- il y a 6 ans
You can use this video the next time you do an indoor treadmill or bike workout using your favourite device.\r
\r
Award-winning, off-shore and parallel-to-coast Sea Cliff Bridge forms part of the Grand Pacific Drive and is located on scenic Lawrence Hargrave Drive, 60 kms south from central Sydney (or 23 kms north of Wollongong). It was opened on December 11, 2005, at a total cost of A$52 million.\r

The Bridge provides road, pedestrian and cycleway access its entire length (665 metres) and spectacular views. Like the Bridge, Grand Pacific Drive never loses sight of the sea. It hugs the coast between the high battlements of the Illawarra Escarpment, looming like the great wall of a lost world, and the vastness of the Tasman Sea, an ocean view so wide you can see the curve of the Earth. Looking south, the Coast with the Most is scalloped with bays, and world class surf beaches all the way to Wollongong and beyond.\r
\r
Why was it constructed? In August 2003, a large embankment slip indefinitely closed Lawrence Hargrave Drive between Coalcliff and Clifton, a stretch of road area notorious for rock falls and closures.\r
But community protest at this closure was fierce, and a permanent fix was demanded from the NSW Government. Over two years later, Sea Cliff Bridge provided that fix, and the road reopened, finally Bridging the Cliff and the Sea and Community.\r
\r
I have been asked by a couple of viewers if it was possible to leave the original sound int. Usually I find it either overly windy, or that Im having a conversation with my wife who is following me with our dog Buddy. Obviously you can always turn the volume down and play your favourite music instead :)\r
\r
I am planning to do more walks/runs etc in the near future. So please let me know if you have any suggestions for the channel, as Id love to hear from you :)\r
