Sydney Harbour bridge
« on: August 22, 2010, 03:29:29 AM »
Sydney   Harbour Bridge was turned into a picnic en   masse yesterday as thousands   flocked to the world famous landmark to   share breakfast.
 
  On most mornings, the bridge is packed with   the vehicles of thousands of   busy commuters driving bumper to bumper   trying to make it to work in   the rush-hour traffic.
 
  But   this morning it was closed to traffic and instead transformed into a     huge gathering for an al fresco breakfast as part of a city-wide food     festival.
 
  Around 6,000 people were invited to lay siege on the grassy banks in the   middle of the highway.

The   aerial view   of the bridge a scene like never before with freshly laid   grass, grazing   cows and hundreds of families enjoying a picnic   breakfast.
 
  The forecast rain was thankfully held off and   people turned out to enjoy   croissants, sausages, bacon eggs and coffee   - with a stunning view   across the water to the Opera House.
 
    Many who were not among the lucky ticket-holders drawn from a ballot   of   190,000 people to take part in the unique gathering still turned up   at   each end of the bridge.

'It's the most   extraordinary sight,' said Rhonda Williams, 21, a backpacker from Bath,   Somerset.
 
    'I've been taking pictures all around Sydney in the past couple of   weeks   and like everyone else I've taken dozens of photos of the   bridge.
 
  'But I'm glad I came back because this is just so amazing.'
