1. Historical sailing

The James Craig in the tall boat festival

Today we had a lovely time eyeing out the boats at the wooden boat festival. Some of the tall ships were there….The Young Endeavour, “James Craig” and a pirate ship with no name. – Karana

2. Jet-boating

Dallbrooke on the Harbour Jet in Sydney

The Harbour Jet ride was amazing.  It was similar to the Shotover Jet in Queensland, NZ that I had braved as a kid on a family holiday.  Mum: You’ll be glad to hear that there were no jagged rock faces in sight – phew!  I got completed soaked to the sound of music blasting from the boat which was fun at the time but as I met up with Bec and her friend later that day for a night out I wasn’t exactly looking great with my matted, salty hair! – Dallbrooke

3. Fabulous ferries

Anniebanany on a ferry to Darling Harbour

I took the ferry from CQ to Darling Harbour. The travel pass that I bought is so handy for jumping on and off ferries, trains and buses. Mine will be worn out by the end of the week! – Anniebanany

4. Harbour cruising

Billy-123 on a cruise in Sydney

I had quite a good day today, for we went on two boats (both were great).The first one – which was called Captain Cook Cruises - was really good because we went on a harbor cruise around Sydney. It told you about the places we saw, my favourite place the special rock, where they hanged a man and left his skeleton swaying in the wind as a warning to others - only for 4 years : > ( . – Billy-123

5. Paddle power

Phillypheet suited up for kayaking

Of course the guide decided to give Kirsten and I the double kayak – I have never used a double and Kirsten has never kayaked so it was an interesting start to say the least (we may have collided with a boat or two). We did get the hang of it though and although we ended up soaking wet and got stuck on a sandbank, it was a lovely time. – Phillypheet
