Trivia Night
Picnic Point PS held its annual trivia night at Hero's Hill RSL on Saturday night. 180 people turned out for the fundraiser with the Grace's coming home with a load of prizes. We won two door prizes and a "Who Am I?" prize (answer Chevy Chase) in addition to our table winning the whole trivia night! Natalie, Andrew, Pam and Peter provided most of the brain power while Heidi and Sue were more content talking and Dave and Greg were curious to see if the current beer was as tasty as the previous beer - we're still undecided!).

Olympic Park
After being bored to tears at an outlet mall, we went for a bike ride at the Olympic Park. We spiraled up a big hill to get an elevated view of the Olympic grounds.
You can see Telstra Stadium in the background - where the opening ceremonies took place.
Adam loved the shipwreck!
Boardwalk through Mangrove forest.
Luna Park
The maths department at MSJ decided a social outing was in order and we spent Friday night at Luna Park (opened in 1935!). Each time we visit the city the kids see Luna park tucked under the Harbour Bridge and ask when they can go to the amusement park. Friday night was finally the night and the kids loved it.
