BridgeClimb Burrawa Aboriginal Climb Experience at 11:35
What your day looks like
Immerse yourself in Sydney’s rich Aboriginal history, with stories spanning thousands of years to today. Guided by your Climb Leader and First Nations Storyteller, journey to the top of the iconic Harbour Bridge via the Summit Climb route. This unique experience offers breathtaking views of Warrane / Sydney Harbour, paired with stories of the Gadigal people and Australia’s First Peoples. Burrawa – an Aboriginal word meaning ‘above’ or ‘upwards’ – adds a deeper layer of meaning to your experience. Climbers will be invited to view Sydney from an Aboriginal perspective, looking down on the shores where Patyegarang taught William Dawes the language of Sydney. Along the way, you’ll discover the origins of familiar place names around the harbour, including Bennelong Point and Barangaroo. The Burrawa Climb also includes indigenous history commentary and music, and a $20 donation to our charity partner Tribal Warrior. The Burrawa Climb is available during the Day only.
