I have been remiss in my Blogging but here I am.
Today I walked the Sea Cliff bridge at Coalcliff in the Illawarra.
It was a bright tho cloudy day and I enjoyed with outing with my fellow 'Wednesday Walkers'.
I was surprised to find numerous padlocks attached to the bridge railings. I had never seen the practice before but after a little research and reading on the Net, I discovered that it is a custom for lovers to declare their love for one another before attaching their padlock to a bridge and then throwing the key into the water below.
It seems that it has been modified to suit the 'locker' as you can see from some of the inscriptions on the padlocks. They record relationships, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and also serve as a eulogy - or was it the end of the marriage?
