Sydney Harbour Bridge welcomes 6000 picnickers for Breakfast on the Bridge

Sydney Harbour Bridge picnic 09
Sydney Harbour Bridge was closed yesterday morning and the eight lanes of tarmac given a temporary make-over – with 10,000 metres of turf, and a small herd of cows.
As part of “Crave Sydney”, an event to celebrate Sydney’s unmatched way of life with 31 days of food, outdoor art and fun during the month of October and raise the Australian city’s profile among tourists, 6000 lucky winners were selected from a ballot of 45,000 hopefuls to enjoy a Sunday morning picnic on the bridge. And all for free.
The carnival atmosphere was helped by live music – and cows wandering around the happy picnickers!
The event – dubbed “Breakfast on the Bridge” – was such a great success and so well received that it’s likely to become an annual event.
So come on Belfast City Council and the Northern Ireland Tourist Board – get your thinking caps on – why can’t Belfast compete with Sydney?!
