Well what a week that has been......lots of school holiday activity with Acacia and Zimra, then Acaia's birthday on Friday, Zim's on Sunday and their joint party on Saturday. We also a couple of jobs on the van and started to get ready for our departure late this week. One of the things that we did was get a portable solar panel kit because we can't use our generator in a lot of the national parks. 
On Tuesday I walked from the Waterfront to the mall in town. First the Waterfront this is a development on the city side of the harbour, that is the city harbour. So a little explanation  is called for, there is another wharf called the East Arm Wharf further out of town and this is where most of the commercial shipping calls. The Waterfront has lots of high rise buildings, some specialised retail, a wave pool, a netted swimming area and an extensive grassed recreation area. Every day during the holidays there has been activities for kids, we have attended a few, the most popular being karate which we attended twice. Back to my walk, in all the years and all the visits I have have never been to this part of town..... My misfortune! It is a fairly short walk that starts with a lift ride up 5 floors followed by a walk over a footbridge and a fabulous view of the Waterfront and the nearby road etc. Then there is a very well presented heritage walk with restored buildings, very good explanatory story boards and the most magnificent modern Anglican Church.
