At very late notice (same day), Luke rang us to organise a birthday surprise trike transfer. We can’t always organise a Harly or trike ride at that short notice, but often we can. So just ring us to find out.

We organised Steve, on the blue trike. He turned up on time at the pick up in Macquarie Street, Sydney. Firstly, they rode through the city and past the Art Gallery of NSW to

Mrs Macquarie’s Point

The view from here looking westward, is beautiful. Most noteworthy, you’ll see the Opera House and Harbour Bridge from a different and interesting perspective.

Harry’s Cafe De Wheels, Finger Wharf and Kings Cross

Next Steve rode through Woolloomooloo. This leads past the interesting Finger Wharf and Harry’s Cafe De Wheels. Then they rode up the hill and through the infamous Kings Cross, through to Rushcutters Bay and Double Bay.

Bondi Beach

After that, they stopped at the famous Bondi Beach. When in Sydney it is one of the places you should visit. The beach is seriously nice (but not our favourite) and we usually stop near the lifeguard station, made famous by the TV series “Bondi Rescue”. Bondi Beach is one of the most visited tourist sites in Australia.

posh eastern suburbs

Riding back around the posh eastern suburbs of the inner harbour is always nice. Vaucluse, Rose Bay, Double Bay and Rushcutters Bay follow Sydney Harbour coastline.

However, time was almost up so they rode through the city and back to the drop off point. The drop off was Observatory Hill, ready to celebrate a milestone birthday.

In conclusion, the birthday surprise trike transfer was a huge surprise and a great success. A birthday they will never forget!

Bondi Beach has a few different hazard ratings therefore, be careful if swimming there. While the northern end has been rated a gentle 4 (with 10 as the most hazardous), the southern side is rated as a 7 due to a famous rip current known as the “Backpackers’ Rip” because of its proximity to the bus stop, the fact that many backpackers and tourists do not realise that the flat, smooth water is a rip, and quite dangerous, and the unwillingness of tourists to walk the length of the beach to safer swimming. The south end of the beach is generally reserved for surfboard riding. Yellow and red flags define safe swimming areas, and visitors are advised to swim between them.

This was a bit of fun! Priscilla’s husband Albert organised the Harley tour 3 Bridges as a surprise. She has always wanted to go on a Harley and because it was her birthday, Albert secretly organised it along with their elder son. They didn’t tell the youngest son because he would have blabbed. They are locals from Sydney, so Albert told Priscilla that he had organised lunch in town.

Jungle, our Harley rider was waiting at the pick up spot in Darling Harbour. (We always send a map showing where to meet). They wandered up and Albert said to Priscilla “isn’t this a great Harley”. Jungle said “Priscilla” and as Jungle said later, her face said all. The look when it finally dawned on her that the Harley was there for her, was priceless.

So, Jungle took Priscilla on a Harley tour 3 Bridges while Albert minded their boys.

Iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge

Firstly, they rode through the city and over the iconic 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.

Kirribilli

Next, after riding across the Harbour Bridge 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.

The Kirribilli Loop

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.

They continued riding on through North Sydney and Crows Nest before joining River Road. It is a fun road to ride on. River Road leads to Burns Bay Road which, in turn, leads to another bridge but not one of the main three.

Fig Tree Bridge, Tarban Creek Bridge, Gladesville Bridge

It is the Fig Tree Bridge which opened in 1963 and spans the Lane Cove River. 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. They travelled along for a short while before turning off into the inner west suburb of Drummoyne. Following the shoreline of Iron Cove, which is part of the Parramatta River, they saw some lovely water views. It is part of the 7 km long Bay Run.

ANZAC Bridge

Priscilla’s favourite bridge is the ANZAC Bridge. We agree 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 3 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, time was nearly up so Jungle dropped her back at Kings Street Wharf, Darling Harbour. Priscilla thought the popular Harley tour 3 Bridges was fantastic, a great way to see parts of the city only the locals know about.

Visting friends in Sydney, their friend Debbie bought our passengers the Sydney Harbour Bridge trike tour. Debbie has used us before and the previous passengers loved it. She reckoned these friends would also.

So, after prearranging the details of the ride, our trike rider Craig, picked the passengers up from Circular Quay. Firstly, they rode through the city to the:

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Secondly, they rode over the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge. The view of the arches is fantastic without a metal roof over your head. More than 6,000,000 rivets were used to assemble the various plates on the bridge.

Blues Point Reserve

After that, they rode to Blues Point Reserve. This is another area around the harbour, where the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. Also, there is a lovely view of Luna Park. They stopped for photos here. Even though the sky is still full of smoke, the view is impressive.

Kirribilli

Next, they rode past Admiralty House which is the Sydney official residence of the Governor-General of Australia. After that they rode past the Prime Ministers mansion – Kirribilli House. It is the official Sydney 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. They also stopped for photos here.

However, time was almost up so Craig rode the passengers back across the bridge. He dropped them back at Circular Quay. In conclusion, the Sydney Harbour Bridge trike tour was a huge success. Hence, just look at their smiles! As they said, they’ll do a longer ride next time.

From the UK, our passengers wanted to do something special while in Sydney. Yes, we can do special! We organised the northern and eastern tour of Sydney. This meant we took them to the lower north shore, some of the northern beaches, then back across the bridge to the eastern suburbs.

Because of the fires, Judy and Peter didn’t know if we were still doing tours. Yes we are, all businesses in Sydney are still open and plying their trade.

Iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge

Firstly, Craig picked them up from their hotel in The Rocks. They rode through the city and over the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passengers to look up and enjoy the unique view. The rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic.

Kirribilli House and Admiralty House

Next, after riding across the Harbour Bridge was riding past Kirribilli House and Admiralty House. Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. Admiralty House is the Sydney official residence of the Governor-General of Australia.

Kirribilli

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. They stopped for photos and even though it is cloudy with no blue sky, it is still amazing to see.

Middle Harbour

They continued on through the lower north shore suburbs of Cremorne, Mosman, past Taronga Park Zoo to Bradleys Head. Make sure you look for the koalas eating or sleeping in the gum trees. Bradleys Head has wonderful views across Sydney Harbour to the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and the CBD.

Continuing on, they rode past the lovely posh Balmoral Beach. Crossing the Spit Bridge is always fun, with lovely views of Middle Harbour and hundreds of yachts. Riding further up the hill they rode into Seaforth.

Dobroyd Headland

Then it was to Tania Park at Dobroyd Headland. The views here are wonderful across Sydney Harbour towards both North and South Heads and out towards the South Pacific Ocean. They stopped for photos and a look and stretch.

Manly Beach

From there, it was a short ride into Manly. Manly Beach is another iconic Aussie beach so they rode past it and up to Queenscliff. So, they saw quite a lot of the lower north shore area. However, it is the northern and eastern tour so now it was time to turn around and explore the eastern beaches of Sydney.

Eastern Suburbs

They rode back a mostly different route and back across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Then it was past the Art Gallery of NSW to Mrs Macquarie’s Point. Yet more beautiful views, this time looking west towards the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.

Finger Wharf

Then it was past Finger Wharf and the iconic Harry’s Cafe De Wheels in Woolloomooloo. Riding up the hill took them into the infamous Kings Cross, it is very interesting to ride through there!

Watsons Bay and the Gap

Continuing on, they rode through the inner eastern suburbs of Rushcutters Bay, Double Bay, Rose Bay and Vaucluse. This route led to Watsons Bay, home of a well known seafood restaurant. Not far from here is the Gap. The Gap is an ocean cliff on the South Head peninsula in eastern Sydney. Although the cliff is a popular visitor destination, it has an infamy for suicides.

However, the 2.5 hours was almost up. So Craig rode back down Old South Head Road and into Bondi. They rode past Bondi Beach before Craig dropped them at Bondi Icebergs for lunch. In conclusion, the northern and eastern tour was a big success, as you can see by their smiles.
