This began with a tour of City Hall. The Council Chamber had some truly amazing wood inlay in a clock and rostrum. We also visited St Mary’s Catholic Church, the Kanaka Memorial and the flood markers on the Bond Store.

Then on to Story Bank – a building dedicated to all things Mary Poppins and her creator plus the art of storytelling.\

We finished the afternoon with a swim, followed by dinner around the fire.
