Australia has a handful of icons that are instantly recognisable. Uluru, kangaroos and koalas, the Opera House, Hugh Jackman, the Sydney Harbour Bridge (affectionately known as the coathanger.) This weekend just passed saw Sydney, a city that just loves an excuse to party, celebrating the bridge's
75th Anniversary. Hundreds of thousands walked the bridge (see picture) and after sunset watched a cool light show from vantage points around the harbour. No fireworks this time, a good call since they've been done already this year for New Year's and Australia Day. Apparently a crowd of 750,000 turned out for the opening 75 years ago. Now THAT'S a party!
