You got to try this if you are in Sydney !

Viator review: The 3 Bridges Harley Tour – see the main iconic bridges of Sydney on a Harley

Hey Katrina & riders !

It’s been an absolute pleasure operating with you and the bikers. It was Mom’s birthday and this was our gift to her!

We were running late but the activity was timed just as it was booked to be. Impressive indeed!

Next on the ride, we loved every bit of the ride. Phil & Fred, were warm and excellent riders ensuring we were feeling safe and enjoying the ride.

Mom is aged 71 & my son is 12 – if there is one activity in Sydney that both of them thoroughly enjoyed, it is this ride. We will have this ride cherished in our memory forever!

Thank you, team! We will certainly do this again on our next visit! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Kirribilli

After being kitted up, they rode past Kirribilli House. Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. After that, they rode around the corner to Jeffrey Street Wharf. From here, the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. In addition, it also has an up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge. A perfect place to stop for photos.

The Kirribilli Loop

Next, they rode under the north side of the bridge and continued on their tour. The underside of the northern end of the SHB – Sydney Harbour Bridge – is very interesting. The Kirribilli Loop was finished by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool.

Fig Tree Bridge, Tarban Creek Bridge, Gladesville Bridge

Crossing the Fig Tree Bridge, which opened in 1963 and spans the Lane Cove River, is interesting. After that bridge, they continued on and crossed the second of the bridges Tarban Creek Bridge. This spans Tarban Creek, likewise, it has nice views east to the Harbour Bridge. Then they got to bridge #2 of the main 3 Bridges, the Gladesville Bridge. It has wonderful views along Parramatta River towards the Harbour Bridge and the city.

This bridge is on the main arterial thoroughfare of Victoria Road – from the west to the city (or vice versa). So far, the Harley + trike family tour has been interesting and fun.

Iron Cove Bridge

The Iron Cove Bridge is a heritage-listed road bridge that carries Victoria Road (A40) across Iron Cove, linking the suburbs of Drummoyne to Rozelle and the rest of the Sydney city. ‘A decision to replace the original bridge was made in 1939 just prior to the outbreak of World War II. Design work began in 1942 and construction commenced in 1947. The bridge was officially opened by the Hon. J.J. Cahill, MLA, Premier and Colonial Treasurer of NSW on 30 July 1955.’ Wikipedia. One of the “freeways” (not free) over the Sydney Harbour Bridge is named after him.

Then it was onto the next amazing bridge.

ANZAC Bridge

Our favourite bridge is the ANZAC Bridge. We think it is incredible, a work of art and design. It is main bridge #3. Similarly, it is also great to see without a roof over your head inhibiting the view.

Most noteworthy, the stay cable design concept development and final design for the new bridge were carried out by the Roads & Traffic Authority of NSW. Finally, the bridge was opened to traffic on 03 December 1995 as the Glebe Island Bridge.

The bridge was given its current name on Remembrance Day in 1998 to honour the memory of the soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (known as Anzacs) who served in World War I.

However, their time was up so Fred + Phil dropped them at Town Hall Station. In conclusion, the Harley + trike family tour was a big success and a lot of fun and very memorable. They saw so much that the average traveller to Sydney doesn’t. Feel the Freedom!
