As part of the Anniversary Weekend activities on 4th August I'm organising a Sydney Harbour Ferry Hop. I'm still working out the fine details, but the idea is you buy a daytripper ticket for the princely sum of $15.40 which covers all train, bus & ferry travel for the day.
We'll board a ferry at circular quay and spend the rest of the day hopping on and off ferries at various harbour destinations for photo ops. Lunch will be at Balmain with the portrait workshop people (we'll catch a bus up the steep hill from the ferry wharf so we don't have to do the walk).
As those who've done this before can attest it's a fun day - photo ops abound both on shore and on board the ferries.
Please express your interest below

I think I have my name down for the portraiture workshop so won't be able to make the 'hop.
Peter, the walk from East Balmain ferry wharf up the road is a piece of cake! Just think, it's only about 500m from there to 60 Darling St (one of the best wine shops in Sydney)!

Knowing Stubbsy's events, it will either be 40 degrees, or raining

Although Stubbsy hasn't yet published the plan, I believe he'll probably be starting at Milsons Point - there's likely to be a fair few of us going over on the ferry from Circular Quay though, so we'll sort out a time to be there and we can start without Stubbsy

we were hoping you would be coming past Pyrmont and we would jump on there but can do Circular Quay as well

I'll have the itinerary finished over the weekend. I expect we'll start at circular Quay.
