international and locals alike where visitors get to scale the
heights of one of the most famous bridges in the world. Sydney
Festival and BridgeClimb Sydney recently unveiled the Burrawa
Climb, a unique immersion into Aboriginal stories and
landmarks across Sydney Harbour. Due to popular demand,
BridgeClimb will be delivering tours for the foreseeable future,
instead of concluding at the end of the festival.
Climbers are guided by Aboriginal storytellers as they scale the
summit of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and discover a fresh
perspective of the city below. Conceived and written by festival
artistic director Wesley Enoch, Burrawa – a local Aboriginal word
that means ‘above’ or ‘upwards’ – will allow climbers to hear
fascinating stories and history from the world’s oldest living
culture. BridgleClimb can organise tours for special group
bookings. Please note that groups of 14 can climb the bridge at
a time. Visit their website to view their range of corporate
packages.
