Watson Bay



After a week of stomach flu (Dad) a barbeque lunch to greet the new counselor in the Area Presidency and the new director of staff here, we finished this long week with an outing to Watson Bay. We hopped onto our ferry here at Rydalmere, rode to Circular Quay (in the city), then quickly found the Watson Bay ferry for our ride.



We arrived at one of the most beautiful, picturesque little villages we've ever seen. The sky was vivid blue, and so was the water! White sailboats bobbed in the bay, and white seagulls swooped overhead. Just beyond the opening to the bay was the skyline of Sydney--and it was spectacular!



We all hiked around a trail near the village to the lighthouse marking South Head. Just across the water, we could see the rocky bluffs of NorthHead--and realized we were at the mouth of Sydney Harbor.
Beyond the heads lies the Tasman Sea--and history has recorded many shipwrecks on the rocks of those heads, trying to make Sydney Harbor. What a beautiful world we live in--and what a beautiful day!
