3. BridgeClimb Burrawa - Aboriginal Climb Experience

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.
