I'm so glad I'm not the only person who thought that sign was great. Glad I could trigger some great memories. @Niamh – Awesome! I’m so glad I’m not the only person who thought that sign was great.

That big sign near the gate saying Please Walk on the Grass? That was why I moved to Sydney! Well, one of the reasons! Looking at your pics is causing high levels of nostalgia!

The Indian Pacific or The Ghan - it is not! :-) @Andrea & @Sky - Sydneysiders! Actually, I didn't know. But I like it.....I came up with a bunch more the other day, but nothing really stuck. @Kevin - As somebody who loves heights and the occasional bout of vertigo, I would have loved to do the climb, and I imagine the views would have been incredible. I just got major sticker shock at the price! @Frank - Me? Really? Nah - couldn't be! And yes - to everybody I can attest: this is Frank's dad. Wink wink. @Anthony – I’m pretty sure the train is used by commuters and tourists alike…with two trains daily, I’m pretty sure that tourists alone wouldn’t justify the service.

Ha! this bit is really funny - for those of us lucky to have met Nora, face to face, there is a high probability you would agree with her dorm mate. <b>Speaking of uncharacteristic shyness, I was told by a fellow traveler in my dorm room that when she met me I was so extroverted I made her flinch.

Speaking of uncharacteristic shyness, I was told by a fellow traveler in my dorm room that when she met me I was so extroverted I made her flinch. Maybe next time I’ll say “hello” with a little less gusto.

btw, that’s not me, that’s my Dad. I took the picture.

As a matter of fact, you have to be attached to the bridge at all times via a cable. Nothing you carry on the trip can fall from your hands. Everything is attached to you in some way, shape or form. I thought the views from the top were pretty fantastic. Oh, the bridge climb is not precarious at all…even for someone who has a minor fear of falling.

I guess it must mostly be used by tourists as I didn't realise there was one. A train between sydney and melbourne? I guess it must mostly be used by tourists as I didn’t realise there was one.
