A jaunty number celebrating the Bridge written composed by Varney Monk while it was still under construction.
'We're building a bridge in Sydney. Over our harbour too. Where we can cross in safety and busy trains pass through. A wonderful thing of beauty. Arching the skies of blue. The best brains thought it. Brave men wrought it. Bridge of our dreams come true!'
The performers are Gil Dech and His Syncopators, and Len Maurice. Cover image is from Sydney's Harbour Bridge (1933).
