A warm day was forecast, so Sue suggested a trip on the Harbour, and we met around 11 am at Circular Quay. A ferry was about to leave for Parramatta so we boarded it. The Rivercat was one with seats outside on the front, and that was a very pleasant place to be – we had great views anda nice breeze all the way to Parramatta.
Here are some photos –

We had lunch at Parramatta and then caught the next Rivercat back to the city. It did not have the front seats or the seats on top, but there were outside seats at the back. They offered very poor views compared to the trip up.
