Watson Family Visit-Day 7

After coming home late from Canberra, we relaxed a bit in the morning.  We snapped a picture of Dad hanging up his washings, a super-sized grasshopper (??), and a shot of our drop off post.

Then it was off to Wahroonga train station to head into Sydney for the day.  Wahroonga Railway Station opened back in 1890!

Crazy to see the size of the cruise ship in comparison the the Harbour Bridge.

It was also neat to watch it turn around to head out of the harbour.
