On Sunday March 18 Sydneysiders will celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the opening of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. The people of Sydney (Sydneysiders - no kidding, that's how they call themselves) refer to it proudly as "Our Bridge." On Sunday I will join the hundreds of thousands of others who are exected to march across the bridge from 10am until 7pm. There are so many people coming for this historic parade of people that one has to have a reservation (pardon me - a booking) to walk. Ours is for 12:30pm and as the link to the special site created for this occassion says "bookings are now closed" Click here to see the site http://www.ourbridge.com.au/ It should be quite the event and I am delighted to be part of this bit of Sydney history.
On Monday Dan Chapin and I fly out to Perth on Australia's West Coast. We'll be gone for a week during which time we'll take the famous Indian Pacific Train across the continent. I'll be back blogging next week with lots to tell and show.

Hi Fr. Ed: We were thinking about you last night at our parish party and tonight at RBTL's Annie. We think you must have done considerable research on the rail system in Australia before you selected your sabbatical destination. We can see the smile each you board one of the trains. Love and Peace: Mary Ann and John
