I’ve driven on it, walked on it, taken the train on it, climbed it, taken the ferry under it, seen the sunset behind it, watched it from a friend’s bedroom window, been to the museum, flown over it, walked under it … though unlike a Peter Isaacson, I’ve never flown under it … seen it in movies, and in music clips, including one starring Noelene from Sylvania Waters …
I’ve kissed Antarctica (with tongue), been photographed with Margaret Thatcher (well, kind of) at the world’s biggest arts festival and watched an hourly resurrection in a Buenos Aires religious theme park. It’s hard to get the Wow! factor these days.
But I always feel it when I see the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
