13 See Sydney through Indigenous eyes

BridgeClimb Sydney is one of the city’s most famous attractions, hosting guided walks to the upper arch of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. While the company offers multiple daily ascents, whether at dawn or dusk or in between, its new Burrawa Climb is available just once a month, and it’s well worth booking in advance. Led by an Aboriginal guide, the eye-opening experience reveals Dreamtime stories and sacred sites most visitors pass without realising their Indigenous significance – such as hidden middens at Tallawaladah (The Rocks), and Kai’ymay (Manly Cove), where Wangal man Woollarawarre Bennelong was lured to become a mediator and interpreter for Governor Arthur Phillip in the late 1700s. bridgeclimb.com
