Santa at the Summit of the Sydney Harbour Bridge

The festive season is Claus for celebration as Santa graces us with his presents (ok, we'll stop!) at the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge to pose with climbers for an unbeatable festive photo!

Every Sunday morning (climbs before 11am) from 5 November to 24 December, climbers can tick-off Sydney's must-do experience and pose for a festive photo with the big man himself atop the iconic arches, 134 metres above the Sydney Harbour. It certainly beats the Aussie style beach Christmas snap or typical shopping centre backdrop, don't you think?

An iconic Santa photo to share with loved ones near and far that is sure to go straight to the pool room. All you need to do is bring a frankincense of adventure!

But wait – there's myrrh!
