Heir-raising views

PRINCE Harry is on a high Down Under.

Cheered on by pregnant wife Meghan, the thrill-seeking royal scaled the 1,332 steps to the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge on Friday.

Following in his footsteps, my husband Oli and I took on the challenge and while the Aussie PM didn’t join us for our walkabout, our guide helped keep us calm as we tried not to look over the 440ft drop.

Strapped in for safety and wearing less than elegant onesies, we soaked in the view — Sydney Opera House glistening in the sun to our right and, shimmering on the horizon, the distant Blue Mountains.

To see Sydney in all its glory as the sun sets and the city lights up, aim for Bridge Climb – Sydney’s twilight booking.

It’s not just Bondi that provides glorious white sands and surf — you can take in picturesque views of the South Pacific on the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk.

Popular with joggers, the clifftop path offered dramatic views as we passed Tamarama and Bronte beaches before settling for the rest of the day at Coogee beach.
