Description

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of Australia’s most recognisable landmarks, stretching gracefully across Sydney Harbour. Opened in 1932, the bridge connects the central business district of Sydney with the North Shore, carrying vehicles, trains, cyclists, and pedestrians.

Nicknamed “The Coathanger” because of its arch-based design, the bridge was engineered by the British firm Dorman Long and remains the world’s largest steel arch bridge. Its construction was a massive undertaking during the Great Depression, providing employment for thousands of workers.

The official opening ceremony is famously remembered for Francis de Groot riding in on horseback and cutting the ribbon before the Premier could do so.

The bridge stands about 134 metres above the water at its highest point and spans approximately 503 metres. Today, it is not only a vital transport link but also a major tourist attraction. Visitors can participate in the BridgeClimb experience, which offers panoramic views of the city and harbour.

As a symbol of Australian identity, the Sydney Harbour Bridge is central to national celebrations, especially during New Year’s Eve, when it becomes the dazzling stage for one of the world’s most famous fireworks displays.

John (JC) Reardon: The Universal Curator

John Reardon (writing as JC Reardon) is a prolific Australian author and a foundational pioneer of the nation's technology sector. Often described as a "modern polymath," Reardon has transitioned from building the infrastructure of the digital age to documenting the vast breadth of human knowledge through an expansive bibliography that exceeds 200 titles.

A Legacy of Innovation

Before becoming a mainstay in Australian publishing, Reardon was a trailblazer in the tech industry. He founded one of Australia's first Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and operated the country's first domain name provider. This deep-rooted expertise in complex systems—ranging from satellite technology to the inner workings of the internet—serves as the backbone for his contemporary writing on science and the future of AI.

The "Wikipedia with a Voice"

Reardon's literary approach is defined by his role as a knowledge aggregator. Rather than pursuing narrow academic specialization, he adopts the role of a "Universal Curator," mapping the continuous story of human civilization across several key pillars:

Military History: Detailed chronicles of the ANZACs, the Spitfire, and the Battle of Trafalgar.

Big Human Systems: Insightful explorations of global faiths and secret societies, including Buddhism, Islam, the Catholic Church, and the Freemasons.

Technology & Science: Accessible guides on Voyager, the evolution of the internet, and the trajectory of AI.

Myth & Folklore: Investigations into the Loch Ness Monster and the Illuminati.

Writing Philosophy

Utilizing an "overview + narrative" structure, Reardon focuses on accessibility, repackaging dense technical and historical data into digestible, story-driven guides for a general audience. His high-volume publishing model treats each book as a "compact portal," inviting the curious to explore a diverse array of subjects through the lens of a man who helped build the digital world they inhabit today.
