Our First Day

HMAS Vampire and HMAS Onslo
Today it is back across to Darling Harbour and the first visit is the Maritime Museum actually we might have fitted this is yesterday, I think, we did so many things that I can't remember the order. Great story of Scott at Antartica, that would be Robert Falcon Scott in 1912.  HMAS Vampire and a submarine were there to have look over.

After the Maritime Museum went to check out the Power House Museum, the boys went first and Sally and I checked out some shops first then found our way there.  Was a long walk but got there.  Was a really interesting place.  Had a Lace Exhibition, don't think the guys were too impressed with this but was interesting seeing the work that had gone into some of the pieces and not all lace as you would imagine.  A lot of scientific stuff, space exploration, studies for students etc.  The Powerhouse Museum is located in Darling Harbour, Sydney. Its unique and diverse collection spans history, science, technology, design, industry, decorative arts, music, transport and space exploration

Whew its hot now, feet are swelling and sweating, need to get a cold drink. Walk back to catch a train, then a bus and back to Neutral Bay to have dinner at The Oak.  Named because it has a huge as oak tree in the court yard.
