Since this is our last day and the weather is glorious, we decided on Cockatoo Island. This is our sop to Australian history in Sydney. It is the largest island in Sydney harbor and was a prison in the 1800's. It then became the most important ship building and repairing point in the Southern Hemisphere until after WW II.
The first blip in our plan was that our metro station was closed. Calder suggested that we just walk to Circular Quay since we wanted to be walking and outside anyway. Stopped at Starbucks for a little brekkie on the way. I am enjoying the ferry rides. It is a neat way of getting around. I’m not so sure how it would be in really stormy times.
We got the ear phones for the self guided tour and set off on a stroll through another not very nice time in Australia's history. The Sculptures are really beam benders for the shipyard. It is possible to camp overnight and a school group was arriving to do that as we were leaving. The views were stupendous. Second blip in our day - the first return boat that came was too crowded so we sat on the dock to wait for the next.
