Catch a ferry, following in the wake of mid-century visitors to the 'Pleasure Grounds', mostly around Mosman - at Cremorne Point, Athol, Clifton Gardens, Balmoral, Rosherville and Pearl Bay when excursionists were conveyed in their hundreds by chartered ferries from the city.
Hundreds of holiday makers indulged in amusements which included foot racing, dancing, swimming, Punch and Judy Show or just the indulgence of drinking beer.

A friend was saying recently that she was being mindful of the joyful moments in each day. Yesterday, was such a moment for many of my fellow passengers on the ferry bound for Circular Quay. A group of Irish musicians was belting it out Irish folksongs in an upstairs corner of the ferry - simple pleasure and a joyful moment experienced with their enjoyment showing clearly on the faces of those who joined in.
What a great idea for the upcoming Australia Day.
