wedding anniversary trike tour – Joanna + Peter 09.03.24
The fourth wedding anniversary trike tour was organised to make a memorable time. In Sydney for a short holiday to celebrate, our trike rider picked them up from their hotel. We didn’t realise until the rider took them to McMahons Point, that this is where Joanna proposed to Peter four years ago. How romantic! 😍
“….It was a great experience, Pete and I were very happy. Fred was lovely and would recommended him anytime.
As for you, you have been so very helpful and your prompt responses and actions were exceptional. The way you and Fred accommodated Pete and I was greatly appreciated……” Jo
Barangaroo
Firstly, they rode past the comparatively new development of Barangaroo was actually interesting. A spectacular transformation from a disused container terminal on the edge of Sydney’s CBD into a spectacular 22-hectare waterfront precinct.
The Rocks
Secondly, it was through the most historic place in Australia is the Rocks. So they rode around part of it. It is a neighbourhood of historic laneways in the shadow of Sydney Harbour Bridge. The Rocks became established shortly after the colony’s formation in 1788 so it is the oldest residential, developed area in Australia – the birthplace of modern Sydney. With the arrival of European settlers in 1788, it was here that the convicts first set up house and shop.
Harbour Bridge Southern Side
Next, it was along Hickson Road and under the southern end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. What a wonderful view! So far, the 4th wedding anniversary trike tour has showed our passengers so many iconic sights!
Sydney Harbour Bridge
Then, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passengers to look up and enjoy the unique view. he 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
After that, they rode to Kirribilli. Famous for its views, Kirribilli is also famous because of 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.
Around the corner, is 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 rider took many.
The Kirribilli Loop
Next, they did the loop which is a fab thing to do, they rode under the north side of the bridge. 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.
Blues Point Reserve / McMahons Point
After this, they rode to Blues Point Reserve. The views over Blues Bay towards the Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and the CBD are just stunning. All the more stunning because of the lovely weather. It’s where this photo was taken.
However, the hour was almost up, so the trike rider took them back over the Harbour Bridge and dropped the passengers off, back at their hotel.
In conclusion, the wedding anniversary trike tour was a fun way to celebrate, creating more new memories together.
