Going on an Adventure


Using my $2.50 Pensioners' Excursion Ticket, how far can I travel by bus, train, and ferry?

Today I took the 389 bus to Circular Quay, the 10:30am ferry (Queenscliff) to Manly, and the 135 bus to North Fort Museum out on North Head. My aim was to visit the Quarantine Station #3 Cemetery, established in 1881, which is the eternal resting place for 241 people who succumbed to diseases like small pox, and the plaqueplague.

The day was tipped to have increasing cloud, but to stay fine. Although the temperature reached the forecast 16C, the wind was bitter.
