The Pyrmont Bridge is one of the world’s oldest surviving electrically operated swingspan bridges. The first bridge began operating in 1857 and the current swingspan bridge opened in 1902. The bridge provided the main transport route between the city and Sydney’s growing western suburbs while the swingspan allowed tall vessels to access Darling Harbour. Today, more than 5 million pedestrians cross the bridge each year.

I love Darling Harbour. It would’ve been a lovely spot to work 😃 I got to race under this bridge for a Dragonboat regatta many many years ago.
Hope all’s going well for you Kate 😘
