Happy 75th Birthday to Sydney Harbour Bridge (2007)

On March 18th, 2007, the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, or “the  Coat Hanger” as it is more affectionately known, was closed to road traffic to allow Sydneysiders to walk across in celebration of its 75th birthday.  I’m looking forward to its big 80th party in 2012!

    • Yeah we all got one when we registered for the walk. Pretty cool huh? I can’t wait to find out what big plans they have for the 80th next year! You should come out for that! ;)

    As Sydney celebrates the iconic Harbour Bridge’s 80th birthday, it’s time to reminisce how we celebrated its 75th back in 2007 :)
