The Most Beautiful Harbour Walk in the World Over 7 Bridges

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Some people say that the best thing about Sydney, Australia, is that it is located on a beautiful harbour. Other people find the harbour a nuisance as they have to drive over its many bridges to travel from one side of Sydney to the other side. When driving a vehicle on the bridges the eyes are concentrating on the driving habits of the other drivers rather than the view.

An opportunity is available on foot to enjoy the views from some or all of seven bridges that cross the harbour is available on Sunday 30 October when the annual Seven Bridges Walk is being held. This is a great way to get active and experience some of the worlds most spectacular harbour views.

Anzac Bridge

The seven bridges are:-

1) Sydney Harbour Bridge

2) Pyrmont Bridge

3) Anzac Bridge

4) Iron Cove Bridge

5) Gladesville Bridge

6) Tarban Creek Bridge

7) Fig Tree Bridge

Walkers can commence their journey at any of the seven villages along the walk dotted around the city.  The walk can be started at any suitable time to the walker after 7.30am, as there is not just the one official starting time. This is not a race, and walkers are encouraged to walk at their own set pace in a clockwise direction around the walk. Walkers are encouraged to bring along a water bottle, which can be refilled at each of the seven villages. Food, music and entertainment will be provided along the way.

The seven villages are:-

1) The Rocks Village – Cadman's Cottage, Circular Quay Way, opposite OPT

3) Pyrmont Village - Pyrmont Bay Park, Pirrama Rd, opposite Star City Casino

3) Rozelle Village - King George Park, Manning Street, near Rozelle Hospital

4) Hunters Hill Village - Hunters Hill Scout Hall, Durham Street, near the Church Street overpass on Burns Bay Road

5) Lane Cove Village - Blaxlands Corner - Central Park, William Edward Street and Kenneth Street

6) Wollstonecraft Village - Brennan Park, Hazelbank Street and King Street

7) Milsons Point Village - Burton Street, Corner of Alfred Street and Burton Street

Gladesville Bridge

The cost to walk part of the way over one of the bridges, or over all the seven bridges along the entire 27km route, is $15 if registration is completed online before the day on the web site 7bridgeswalk.com.au. People can still register on the day of the walk, but the cost will then be $20 and involve joining long queues. It is a great family walk, so children under 12 are free. Walkers can set up a fundraising page or make a donation to the Cancer Council of NSW if they like.

For those people who would like to only walk part of the way, free buses will be available along the course to take walkers back to where they started from. For people who would just like to help out on the day and not walk, volunteers are needed for a variety of tasks to make the day a success.
