Sydney Harbour History CruisesThe latter history of Sydney Harbour since the first fleet arrived is also vast and interesting. There were once 14 islands in our harbour and with 6 attached to the mainland or incorporated with rock hewn by convict labour, there are now 8, and every one has a story! Did you know that Rodd Island in Iron Cove was used by scientists from Louis Pasteur's laboratory, last century, for experiments to control our rabbit plague? It was also used as a quarantine station for Sarah Bernhardt's much loved and pampered pet dogs when she arrived in Australia from overseas. Di has read many books on the history of the colony on the harbour and is happy to pass on the anecdotes and stories of our past to Watercolours' guests.
Several clients favour a family day out on Watercolours with good 'old fashioned' activities away from electronic toys, such as fishing, playing board and card games and a barbeque. The kids really enjoy Skipper Yhanni's jokes and always seem keen to come back!
