fun family Sydney experience – Bob’s Family 10.08.2025

Bob and 16 family members came to Sydney for a holiday. He decided to organise a fun family Sydney experience for them, something unique and memorable. We organised 4 trikes to do 2 x 1 hour tours (though the fourth trike is not in this photo). The riders picked them up from their hotel.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Firstly, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passengers to look up and enjoy the unique view. The more than 6,000,000 rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic. It’s nicknamed ‘The Coathanger’ because of its arch-based design. It is the largest steel arch bridge in the world. This bridge is the eighth longest spanning-arch bridge in the world and the tallest steel arch bridge, measuring 134 m (440 ft) from top to water level. It was also the world’s widest long-span bridge, at 48.8 m (160 ft) wide, until a bridge in Canada was completed in 2012.

Kirribilli

Next, a few streets away, they rode past Kirribilli House. Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. Further on is Admiralty House. It is the Sydney residence of the Governor-General and one of the most historic and important residences on Sydney Harbour. The house – originally called ‘Wotonga’ – was built in the mid 1800’s.

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.

The Kirribilli Loop

Riding under the north side of the bridge is another unique Sydney thing to do! 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. It’s where this photo was taken.

Then, they rode back through the city to Haymarket.

Haymarket

In 1829 the valley south of Bathurst Street and Brickfield Hill was designated as a site for cattle and corn markets. The Haymarket, as the place became known, was a convenient stopping place for farmers’ bullock carts before the long haul up to the city’s market buildings. The outer walls of the original vegetable market, built in 1909, were preserved and restored as an example of Edwardian architecture. They were part of the original city market.

Then it was time to head back to the hotel and pick the second group up and take them for a similar tour across the SHB.

In conclusion, the fun family Sydney experience was a huge success. The passengers experienced something unique and memorable, a great way to see an important part of Sydney.
