5 Went Over

This is the last picture of the 5 brave men and women that dared to travel across the Sydney Bridge. Known to some (who've maybe consumed a few too many) as the bridge of deaaaath, this courageous mêlée of call-centre workers, simple folk like you and I, threw caution to the wind - and maybe even past some on the way - and did what, in their hearts, felt right. Stef, Lynda, April, Adam and Jason made a decision on the 15th of March that would alter their lives forever. Stefani, a student from the United Kingdom and part time traveller, had only just arrived on these burly shores for a one year holiday working visa. Lynda, a part time Architecture student and brilliant mind from a far location know only as Canadiaum. April, a beautiful and brimming Scottish lass from over the hills and far away. Adam, a thoughtful and pensive being from the planet Zorb and Jason, a half English, half Portuguese, fully baked ginger bread man, all departed from Milson's Point, 1.5 miles North of Sydney and embarked on their trip across this, the widest long-span bridge in the world. It is also the largest steel arch bridge with the top of the bridge standing 134 metres above sea level though it can increase by as much as 180 mm (7 in) on hot days as the result of steel expanding in heat. Two large metal hinges at the base of the bridge accommodate these expansions and contractions and thereby prevent the arch from being damaged. Although these factors are rather daunting, this still hindered not these 5 valiant souls from completing the trip of a life time. Where are these 5 martyrs now? What will they do next? And who will they take down with them? Stay tuned for more adventures in the world of the Fab 5 Falconites!
