It takes just one boat to stop traffic on one of Sydneyâs busiest roads.
An estimated 75,000 vehicles and 35,000 bus passengers use the Spit Bridge across Middle Harbour from Mosman to Seaforth every day.
Yet the bridge is raised six times a day from Monday to Friday for an average of between one and five boats per opening. On weekends and public holidays, the bridge is raised eight times a day, for 10 to 15 boats each time.

Recently, British Petroleum (BP) went public in declaring that “peak oil demand” was reached in 2019. According to the oil major’s 2020 outlook, global oil demand will not regain levels reached last year, and that demand could soon fall rapidly, due to stronger climate action by countries, by at least 10% over the next 10 years, and up to 50% by 2040.
Demand for the fossil fuel has doubled over the past 50 years, reaching around 100 million barrels of oil per day (bopd) in 2019.
While earlier editions of BP’s outlook stated that global demand would continue rising steadily, peaking in the mid-2030s, the latest version sees the decline as much more dramatic, with peak demand already reached in 2019, and either slowing down or plateauing over the next three decades.

Keele University has signed a 25-year agreement with ENGIE that will see 15,000 solar panels, wind turbines and battery storage installed to support the institution s carbon neutral pledge.
The renewables will collectively provide up to 50% of the campus’s electricity needs when constructed, with any excess electricity fed back into the local grid. The battery will help to provide balancing services for the local and national electricity networks, the university noted.
ENGIE will fund, design, build and operate the multi-technology energy park, with the ground-mount solar panels, two wind turbines and industrial size battery housed in fields on the edge of the campus.
