Happy birthday, Harbour Bridge
Happy 80th birthday, dear Harbour Bridge!
I couldn’t think of a more fitting tribute to your magnificence than through the eyes of another extraordinary Australian, photographer David Moore. One of our nation’s greatest photographers, David observed and documented you over the decades, always capturing you in the best light and most beautiful moments, as you presided over his beloved Sydney harbour.
