Like something straight out of a movie. 🎬
On Saturday morning, Sydney woke beneath a blanket of fog, with our icons disappearing from view. For a moment, we could’ve sworn the Sydney Harbour Bridge had vanished…did anyone spot where it went?! 👀😉
By 9am, the fog began to lift, revealing the harbour in all its glory right where it belongs.
