Day four

Today we had another glorious sunrise. 

While Helen took the children down to the beach for a morning swim we made sandwiches for today’s outing to Nielsen Park out on Sydney Harbour. 

A large netted beach ( shark nets!) and a wide area of grass behind, filled with picnics and swimmers. Immie and Jack took a large inflatable pineapple out on the water and were joined by James and Grace. 

Kate and I took a short walk along the cliff path to get our first long view across to the Opera House and Bridge. 

After our picnic I took a walk into the scrublands behind the beach and was rewarded with two fine birds, a pied currawong and a red wattlebird. 

And after an exhausting day what could be better than ice cream., we went to a parlour and bought two litres of ice cream, made up of large scoops of eight different flavours. Here we see James and Immie choosing their flavours.
