The Coat Hanger turns 75

The Sydney Harbour Bridge, a 75 year old Sydney icon celebrated its birthday with a day off from cars, motors and buses, and instead the Sydney siders took over by feet and walked over it. A great opportunity for special photos, and being a 'part of history' of the bridge that is nicknamed the Coat Hanger - or in Dutch KLEREHANGER (just a funny Dutch expression!) Sound recordings of the last 75 years were played amidst a light and aboriginal smoke ceremony.


The Light Show from Circular Quay!



The lights give ~real~ special effects! Everyone survived!
