[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 152593, member: 1991"] G'day, folks. Just a quick note today, it's late and it's been a big day. difficult child 3's school excursion was really good. The Sydney Harbour cruise was part of a "schools afloat" course provided to schools interested. It dealt with the history of various parts of the Harbour and foreshores, as well as how Sydney itself developed from settlement and onwards. The day was cool but clear and sunny. Or maybe it was just cool on the water. The whole cruise lasted for three hours, plus another hour for lunch in a Harbourside park by a beach at husband's & my favourite seafood restaurant - Doyles at Watson's Bay. I couldn't resist buying a small seafood & salad plate, but had to bring some of it home, there was too much. We sat under a huge Port Jackson fig and looked over the beach while we ate seafood. The schoolwork for difficult child 3 was easy, the teacher told them the answers for the worksheets but explained it all further. A lot of it I already knew. difficult child 3 has been to some of the places we visited and I was able to remind him of them, including seeing the changes since we'd been there. The huge wharf where we boarded the cruise ship for Tasmania, for example - the Tasmania from Sydney cruise has permanently stopped, the site is under development and will be apartments etc in a few years. We saw the Harbour island where my nephew was married. Frankly, I'd recommend this cruise to tourists, over the usual ones. A lot cheaper, too. Linda, you can listen to more than books in the car - a few years ago husband ordered MP3 files of all the episodes of "The Shadow" and "The Stan Freberg Show". We've loaded them onto the iPod and play them over the radio in the car on long trips. Enjoy your Thursday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
