We selected five of the thirteen ‘score draws’, the most we have predicted on “The Pools”.
On a gloriously sunny, mild morning we paid fifty cents each to enter Elizabeth Bay House, at Elizabeth Bay, and eighty cents each to enter Vaucluse House, in the expensive suburb of Vaucluse. The latter, with its turrets resembling those on a castle, was once the home of the early explorer, William Charles Wentworth. The party of Blaxland, Lawson and Wentworth was the first to find a way across the Blue Mountains, in 1813. They chose to keep to the ridges whereas previous attempts had not. Wentworth was also a barrister, author, landowner and statesman.
At the inviting cafe-restaurant, Father’s Moustache, in Rose Bay, we shared a nice slice of pavlova ($1.10), a slice of cheesecake ($1.00) and had a cappuccino, at a cost of fifty cents each.
