Description Danni & I were lucky enough to have the opportunity of a helicopter flight over Sydney this morning and I thought that I would share a view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge that not many people get to see.

The pilot was kind enough to remove my door so that I didn't have to shoot through the perspex.

We travelled at approximately 500 feet in the air at 200kms an hour. Total flight took about 1 hour.

I was going to do the Harbor Bridge climb when we were there, but felt the charge was too high for what was offered so we just walked across instead. This is definitely a different view and well done!!!

I just don't think the price matches the activity. I think it's waaaaaay overpriced.
