Another school week, a visit from the cousins, and Huff had a school excursion into Haymarket (and the Friendship Gardens in Darling Harbour) for geography, but the highlight was a Saturday trip to Cockatoo Island on Saturday, with Puff’s boys group.
Puff had a great time laughing with his friends.
Huff enjoyed taking photos of the harbour, and other sights.
They were enjoying spending time together, even by the end of the day (though Puff stayed around to watch a movie with friends, while Huff was happy to go home and rest).
There’s lots of history to examine on Cockatoo Island; a mix of the old prison colony for convicts who had re-offended in Australia. Here’s Puff emerging from one of the old cells. They’re very cramped.
Huff really wanted a toy cockatoo, but hadn’t brought enough money, so made do with (and ended up being delighted with) a finger puppet version instead, dubbed “Flamey”.
Dad enjoyed spending the time with them, and Mum enjoyed a little well deserved rest.
