We install a ladder up a pylon and voila- UNDERPASS CLIMB! aim for iconic ironic status- dub it the crappest tourist trap in history-maybe get a voucher deal going with bridge climb.

Circular Quay, which is how thousands of Sydneysiders commute to work and back, has become a sort of Disneyland on the water.
