March 19, 1932 was the day of the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Today is the day that marks the 75th anniversary of that opening.
To commemorate that day in history, the Harbour Bridge was closed from traffic and opened for people to take a walk across. And I, being a tourist-wannabe that I am, went to walk the bridge. From far away, it seems like a really long walk... but in actual fact, it wasn't that long. Or maybe because there were so many people that I didn't really pay attention much to the actual walk... Anyway, throughout the walk, there were aboriginal music playing and there was also an Aboriginal Ceremony to pay respect to previous generations. There were chimes hanging at the end of the bridge which gave out peaceful ringing sounds to those who finished the walk.
It was an experience to see so many people crossing the bridge, that, I'm sure, no one would want to walk on if it was an ordinary day.
