The Sydney Harbour Bridge Turns 93 Today? 🌉🎂

I walked across the bridge on Friday but only saw in the news today that the bridge was opened 93 years ago today.

Opened 19 March 1932,
Inaugurated 19 March 1932

We bookended our USA trip by walking across the Golden Gate Bridge on the first day and the Sydney Harbour Bridge on our last stop before heading back to Brisbane.

Welcome to the USA?🛫🛬

We even walked under it.

While I have driven across the bridge and been on it once before, Friday was the first time I have ever walked across it and back again.

I've only ever walked to the first pylon before and that was about 40 years ago.

You wouldn't survive the jump from this bridge, either.

It's a long way down.

As you can see for yourself.

I might have to come down in 7 years' time and walk it again when the bridge turns 100 and I'll be 67 and an official pensioner ... that's if I'm still around and able to walk still:-)

Oh, and that ship in the above picture I walked past on Saturday made the news today also:-)

A passenger has been charged after a cruise ship from Argentina docked in Sydney Harbour and an illegal discovery was made inside his cabin on Saturday.
The 48-year-old Brazilian national allegedly had 10kg of cocaine in the ceiling cavity of his room, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) allege.
Australian Border Force (ABF) officials searched the cabin and allegedly found 28 individually wrapped parcels of the substance, which returned a positive result for cocaine when tested.

I guess that passenger didn't get to celebrate St. Patrick's Day;-)
