To Sydneysiders, the Bridge is more than an iconic landmark. It s much bigger, much more important than that. We ve driven it, walked it, drifted under it and felt that feeling when you glimpse it through the window of a homeward-bound Boeing. The Sydney Harbour Bridge belongs to all of us. And we want to share it with the world. Opened in 1932, the Sydney Harbour Bridge is a world-renowned symbol of Australia. The historic tale of construction still fascinates locals and people from all over the world. Some of our Bridge Masters, our most frequent climbers, love spending time learning more about the Bridge and enjoying the sense of being so close to this engineering marvel. Positioned across Sydney s breathtaking natural harbour, the Bridge has become one of the most photographed features of our beautiful city.

We visit Geelong waterfront overlooking Corio Bay. See the port that was the centre of trade during the famous gold rush era in the 19th century. The Great Ocean Road begins at Torquay - home to worldwide surfing label companies including Ripcurl and Quicksilver then visit wild kangaroos who like to mingle with golfers at Anglesea Golf Course. We soon arrive at Aireys Inlet, with its landmark lighthouse and pristine beaches. Airey's Inlet is a jewel in the Great Ocean Road.

From there we continue our journey travelling the green belt of the Great Ocean Road arriving at the Aire River Escarpment. It is here that we enjoy a 4 kilometre walk along the calm river to the crashing waves of the Southern Ocean. Be on the lookout for Kangaroos and Wallabies as we traverse well constructed boardwalks.
