Happy Birthday Bridge. Happy Birthday to you.












We have participated in SO many neat celebrations while in Australia. The 75th anniversary of Sydney’s Harbour Bridge has to be one of the most unique and cool celebrations in which I have ever participated.


The entire bridge was closed for traffic. Several hundred thousand people had to sign up more than a month in advance to walk across at an appointed time. We nabbed a spot to walk across at sunset – during the aboriginal bridge smoking ceremony. We were not disappointed. Beautiful aboriginal music was played, enveloping smoke & incense were lit, funky orange hats with powerful lights were passed out, and the bridge was lit colorfully. It was a sea of humanity and everyone was in a good mood.
