60 years ago today, Sir Hubert Opperman (88 yrs), world famous cyclist
sportsman, led a strong contingent of Australian cyclists across the
Sydney Harbour Bridge, which was opened that day.

In 1931, Hubert 'Oppy' Operman won the then Premier bicycle race of
France, the Paris - Brest - Paris race.

Today, Sir Hubert Opperman led another strong contingent through the
new Sydney Harbour Tunnel, which was opened today for people to walk
through.

Tomorrow, the tunnel will be opened for vehicular traffic.

An estimated 130,000 people walked or cycled through the tunnel today.
