• The Sydney Opera House has roofs evocative of a ship at full sail. The Sydney Opera House was designed by renowned Danish architect – Jorn Utzon (1918-2008).

• In the late 1950s, the NSW Government made an appeal fund to finance the construction of the Sydney Opera House. The NSW Government also made a competition for its design where Jorn Utzon’s design was chosen. Utzon spent a couple of years reworking the design and it was until 1961 that he had solved the problem of how to build the iconic World Wonder.
