Happy Birthday: Sydney Harbour Bridge turns 75!

Photo from Yahoo! NewsA belated Happy Birthday to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which turned 75 last Sunday! Incredible to think it's been around that long. It opened on March 19th, 1932 after six years of construction. 16 workers died during the construction, but it's amazing that more didn't die when you think about how difficult it was to build.Reports have 250,000 people walking across the bridge on Sunday to celebrate, which was a great scene; a wash of colour and faces. It was just nice to have something real to celebrate for once, rather than the endless excuses for parties we have each year. I'll be 47 when the Coathanger turns 100... that'll be a celebration to see too, I bet.
