SYDNEY — Thousands of people ate breakfast on the Sydney Harbor Bridge as the iconic steel span was transformed Sunday into a grassy picnic ground.
Usually bustling with traffic, the bridge was covered by lawn laid specially for the morning event. It was attended by 6,000 lucky picnickers chosen in a ballot to enjoy food, music and the majestic view.
“It’s amazing to see the bridge in this perspective,” Don Fuchs said as he strolled across, taking in the Sydney Opera House. “Usually you sit in the car, you cross it, and that’s it.”
New South Wales state Premier Nathan Rees said the tourism promotion would likely become an annual event.
