A different experience : On the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Thousands of people ate breakfast on the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia, as the iconic steel span was transformed recently into a grassy picnic ground. Usually bustling with traffic, the bridge was covered by lawn laid specially for the morning event. It was attended by 6,000 lucky picnickers chosen in a ballot to enjoy food, music and the majestic view. “It’s amazing to see the bridge in this perspective,” Sydney resident Don Fuchs said as he strolle
d across, taking in the Sydney Opera House. “Usually you sit in the car, you cross it, and that’s it,” he said. Picnickers brought hampers full of fruit and croissants, while organisers handed out freshly baked bread, jams, apples and yoghurt. A piano player played honky-tonk music while grazing cows added a rustic touch.
