The Gap

[ourkind (Carlos)]

Unfortunately this place is notorious for suicides in Sydney, so much so that there are emergency phone booths along the walkway in case you wish to speak to someone that'll listen.

Full resolution on flickr.

Thanks for looking.

Beautiful shot Carlos



The Victorian government would erected barbed wire fence along the top of it like they did on the Westgate Bridge to stop the problem



Cheers Mark

Thanks Humayun, the moon light really helped with bringing out the foreground from the shadows.

Thanks MarK! I agree a better deterrant is neccesary but I'm not sure that a barbed wire fence is the answer, those that decide to jump wouldn't be too concerned about a few cuts and scratches, plus the rest of us would not be able to enjoy the views.

There are a few emergency phone booths with trained people on the other side ready to speak to you, I'm certain that if you picked up that phone it would automatically tip off the police to take a look around. They have also just recently installed CCTV cameras along the pathways, unfortunately these only record events and are not being monitored, so they're not a solution either.

I had a friend that jumped of the Harbour Brigde, barbed wire fence in place and CCTV. The family were allowed to watch the footage as he looked around jmped the fence and took the leap.
