NEW ABORIGINAL EXPERIENCE ON TOP OF SYDNEY’S HARBOUR BRIDGE

Visitors can now experience Aboriginal storytelling on top of Sydney’s iconic Harbour Bridge, thanks to a new initiative launched by Sydney Festival and BridgeClimb.

Two decades after thousands of Australians walked across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the name of reconciliation, the three-hour Burrawa Climb offers a unique and unmissable immersion into Aboriginal stories and landmarks across the harbour.

Sydney Festival’s Artistic Director Wesley Enoch said: “Sometimes it’s good to get up high and look around to see the world differently.

“Every new vantage point helps us see our city through different eyes. It can be hard for the untrained eye to spot the Aboriginal story of a metropolis like Sydney.

“Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge and hearing stories like Me-Mel and the great Eel story, Patyegarang, Bennelong and Barangaroo, helps make sense of the history of this place and how we got here.”

Running until 24 January, the Burrawa experience starts from $198 for an adult ticket. $10 from every climb will go to the Tribal Warrior Aboriginal Corporation, a non-for-profit organisation initiated and directed by Aboriginal people whose mission is to spread and vitalise Aboriginal culture, and to provide economic and social stability.
