You took the picture out, so I can't tell you where the Opera House is.
Re: my health. It was just stress, according to the doctor.

The Tyne bridge was designed by Mott, Hay and Anderson of London who based their design on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This in turn derived its design from the Hell Gate Bridge in New York. Many people think that the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia was based on the Tyne Bridge. This is not the case, work started on the Sydney Bridge before building began on the Tyne Bridge. The confusion arises because the Sydney Harbour Bridge took longer to complete due to its larger size. The Sydney Harbour Bridge finally opened in 1932, three years after the Tyne Bridge.
