This is their flagship store in George Street
Sydney Harbour Bridge
Affectionately known as the "Coathanger", it was opened in 1932. You can walk across the bridge for free. We started from the southern end near the Rocks and we walked to the middle of the bridge before turning back to George Streeet.
It is very windy on the bridge and you can have a nice view of the Opera House.

Aboriginal legend has it that the rocks are in fact the three sisters. Their father turned them into rocks to protect them from the bunyip (evil spirit) with a magic bone. Unfortunately he lost the magic bone and could not turn them back again.
Perhaps he can help
