That big sign near the gate saying Please Walk on the Grass? That was why I moved to Sydney! Well, one of the reasons! Looking at your pics is causing high levels of nostalgia! Enjoy

I’m so glad I’m not the only person who thought that sign was great. Glad I could trigger some great memories.

The Indian Pacific or The Ghan – it is not! 🙂

@Andrea & @Sky – Sydneysiders! Actually, I didn’t know. But I like it…..I came up with a bunch more the other day, but nothing really stuck.

@Kevin – As somebody who loves heights and the occasional bout of vertigo, I would have loved to do the climb, and I imagine the views would have been incredible. I just got major sticker shock at the price!

@Frank – Me? Really? Nah – couldn’t be! And yes – to everybody I can attest: this is Frank’s dad. Wink wink.

Ha! this bit is really funny – for those of us lucky to have met Nora, face to face, there is a high probability you would agree with her dorm mate.

Speaking of uncharacteristic shyness, I was told by a fellow traveler in my dorm room that when she met me I was so extroverted I made her flinch. Maybe next time I’ll say “hello” with a little less gusto.

btw, that’s not me, that’s my Dad. I took the picture.

As a matter of fact, you have to be attached to the bridge at all times via a cable. Nothing you carry on the trip can fall from your hands. Everything is attached to you in some way, shape or form. I thought the views from the top were pretty fantastic.

I guess it must mostly be used by tourists as I didn’t realise there was one.
