Happy birthday to the Sydney Harbour Bridge...

Another hectic weekend - on Saturday we went to the New South Wales Art Gallery to check out the entrants for the Archibalds, Australia's annual portrait prize.
I love going to this gallery - it overlooks the harbour and is just so lovely. A real fave.
But big news in Sydney this weekend was the 75th birthday of the famed Harbour Bridge. In honour of the 'coathanger' as the bridge is affectionately know locally, the bridge was closed to all road traffic on Sunday, and Sydneysiders were invited to take a 3.6km walk along the eight lanes of the bridge.


250,000 proud Aussies took up the invite, and it was a real experience. Not in the way that climbing the arch of the brudge - you just felt you were part of history. Real goosebumps.
A true Aussie icon, the bridge has now become a National Treasure. And rightly so!
