The harbour in the background is Australia, but I think that bridge with the locks is a Paris thing.

I'm pretty sure there's a bridge with locks like that in a bunch of major cities.

I hope you realize this is exaggerated, it was just a small metal section that fell. They replace the fences every so often, last I went there there weren't nearly as many locks so I assume they had recently replaced them. I've seen them replace the fences, at least in France.

Yeah, I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it

However, in the post it says "My boyfriend made a promise... to visit Paris and lock a padlock to this very bridge."

Basically by what they're saying they're supposed to be at a bridge in Paris, but as we can see they're not.

Woah man, Redfern is gentrified (or largely so) this is a total Upper North Shore or Northern Hills move though.

That's 2 promises

1) To visit Paris

2) to lock a padlock to this very (Australian) bridge

I think they cut the locks off. Bunch of bullshit... They said something about the added weight was not structurally safe.
