Past Event
May 15th (Thursday) Naval Tour – Japanese mini-subs attack on Sydney Harbour - Gill
Gill As with the West of Harbour cruise last year this was another great trip. The volunteer tour guides are amazing with their wealth of knowledge. The accompanying slide show helped us to relive the memorable time Sydney Harbour came under attack during the WWII. Once again, the morning tea was very delicious!
Shame we had a repeat of the weather, another dull grey day but thankfully not quite as much rain.
