在悉尼大桥野餐！

  昨天听老公说了这个活动，新州政府今天封桥（大桥平时都是来往车辆），从昨天夜里开始封桥铺草坪，今早有6000个幸运儿可以在大桥上野餐，还有政府提供的免费野餐食物（面包、果酱、酸奶等等，相当丰富啊）。从照片上看，这个场景相当浪漫～～～这个活动目的还是促进悉尼旅游业，今年是第一次办，据说有可能每天来一次。一共有19万人申请参加，抽出了幸运的6000人。老公说，他也投票了，可惜没抽上。没关系，咱年年投，总有一年，我们要带着小宝一起去悉尼大桥上野餐。

Thousands breakfast on Harbour Bridge (http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/latest/6385241/thousands-breakfast-on-harbour-bridge/)

Accordion and trumpet players banged out jolly tunes as thousands ambled across the lush green grass carpeting Sydney Harbour Bridge and sat down for a picnic breakfast.

The 6,000 picnickers brought hampers full of fruit and croissants, while freshly baked breads and jams, apples and yoghurt were also handed out.

It was an unusually serene sight with the Harbour Bridge not only free of bumper-to-bumper traffic, but there were also docile cows looking on and a honky-tonk piano player keeping spirits light.

At a cost of $1 million, the inaugural breakfast on the bridge is the marquee event for Crave Sydney, a month-long festival showcasing the city's entertainment, food and art.

Premier Nathan Rees said it was likely to become an annual event, following the success of Sunday's turnout, which he predicted was worth $10 million in tourism dollars.

"We've got people from as far afield as Tamworth and Glenfield and Mount Druitt, St Ives, Collaroy... people having a ball," he told reporters.

Among the orderly picnickers were a four-week-old baby, a man who proposed to his girlfriend, and a young man celebrating his 19th birthday.

"It's amazing to see the bridge in this perspective," Don Fuchs from Ermington, in Sydney's northwest, said as he strolled across the grass.

"Usually you sit in the car, you cross it (the bridge), and that's it."

Luke Murphy, from Wakeley in Sydney's west, was celebrating his 19th birthday with his mum and dad, grandfather and grandmother.

The happy family drank orange juice from champagne glasses and munched on quiches, croissants, bagels and fruit.

Luke won the chance to treat his family to the experience through a public ballot reserved for NSW residents.

He was lucky to be among those selected - about 190,000 people applied for 6,000 tickets, an organiser told AAP.

Around 40 per cent of the 10,620sqm of kikuyu turf laid down for the event will be transferred to parkland at Sydney Olympic Park.

The rest will be sold by the supplier to the community.

The bridge will be reopened to traffic about 1pm (AEDT).
